Configuring Mesh Networking
9-25
23. The IT team assigns the name of “trion mesh network” to the ACL to eliminate any
confusion with the ACLs intended function
24. Since the range of client bridge MAC addresses for the shipping yard mesh network is
known to the IT Team, they select the Deny drop-down menu option, as the team wants to
deny access to all MAC addresses except their own known range of device MAC addresses.
25. The IT team then selects the Add button and enters the base bridge MAC address that will
be granted access to the AP-5131 managed WLAN. Once completed, the Apply button is
selected and the AP-5131 applet returns to the WLAN screen.
Now a QoS policy needs to be defined for the shipping and receiving mesh network WLAN.
The IT Team envisions little if any video or voice traffic within the shipping yard as the MUs
within primarily scan bar codes and upload data.
NOTE If the Trion IT team puts the client bridge addresses into the ACL, they
should also put the AP-5131’s BSS ID into the ACL since there is no way to
know ahead of time which BSS the client bridge will use for association.
