Local mesh
Provisioning local mesh links
Quality of service
The local mesh feature enables you to define a quality of service (QoS) setting that will
govern how traffic is sent on all wireless links.
The QoS setting on all nodes in a local mesh must be the same.
Note When traffic is forwarded onto a local mesh link from a VSC, the QoS settings on the VSC
take priority. For example, if you define a VSC with a QoS setting of VSC-based High, then
traffic from this VSC will traverse the local mesh on queue 2 even if the QoS setting on the
local mesh is VSC-based Low (queue 4).
Provisioning local mesh links
APs operating in controlled mode must be able to discover and connect with a service
controller. When operating as part of a local mesh, any AP that can only discover the service
controller via a wireless link must be provisioned before being deployed. In this example,
AP 1, AP 2, and AP 4 must be provisioned prior to deployment for discovery to be successful.
(Since AP is using a wired link, it does not need to be provisioned for this scenario.)
