Command Default

Client access is disabled.

Command History

Release Modification
7.6 This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.

Usage Guidelines

Backhaul interfaces (802.11a radios) act as primary Ethernet interfaces. Backhauls function as trunks in the network and carry all VLAN traffic between the wireless and wired network. No configuration of primary Ethernet interfaces is required.

When this feature is enabled, the mesh access points allow wireless client association over the 802.11a radio, which implies that a 152x mesh access point can carry both backhaul traffic and 802.11a client traffic over the same 802.11a radio.

When this feature is disabled, the mesh access points carry backhaul traffic over the 802.11a radio and allows client association only over the 802.11b/g radio.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable client access extended to allow a wireless client association over the 802.11a radio:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh client-access enable extended
Enabling client access on both backhaul slots
 Same BSSIDs will be used on both slots
 All Mesh AP will be rebooted
 Are you sure you want to start? (y/N)Y


The following example shows how to restrict a wireless client association to the 802.11b/g radio:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh client-access disable
All Mesh AP will be rebooted
Are you sure you want to start? (Y/N) Y
Backhaul with client access is canceled.

config mesh ethernet-bridging allow-bpdu { enable | disable}

Syntax Description

enable

Enables STP BPDUs towards wired mesh uplink.

disable

Disables STP BPDUs towards wired mesh uplink.

Command Default

Disabled

Command History

Release Modification

8.0.110.0

This command was introduced.

Usage Guidelines

Cisco WLC does not allow you to use this command if VLAN transparency is enabled.

config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent

To configure how a mesh access point handles VLAN tags for Ethernet bridged traffic, use the config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent command.

config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent { enable | disable}

Syntax Description

enable

Bridges packets as if they are untagged.

disable

Drops all tagged packets.

Command Default

Bridges packets as if they are untagged.

Command History

Release Modification
7.6 This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure Ethernet packets as untagged:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent enable

The following example shows how to drop tagged Ethernet packets:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh ethernet-bridging vlan-transparent disable

config mesh full-sector-dfs

To globally enable or disable full-sector Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) on mesh access points, use the config mesh full-sector-dfs command.

config mesh full-sector-dfs { enable | disable}

Syntax Description

enable

Enables DFS for mesh access points.

disable

Disables DFS for mesh access points.

Command Default

None

Command History

Release Modification
7.6 This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.

Usage Guidelines

This command instructs the mesh sector to make a coordinated channel change on the detection of a radar signal. For example, if a mesh access point (MAP) detects a radar signal, the MAP will notify the root access point (RAP), and the RAP will initiate a sector change.

All MAPs and the RAP that belong to that sector go to a new channel, which lowers the probability of MAPs stranding when radar is detected on the current backhaul channel, and no other valid parent is available as backup.

Each sector change causes the network to be silent for 60 seconds (as dictated by the DFS standard).

It is expected that after a half hour, the RAP will go back to the previously configured channel, which means that if radar is frequently observed on a RAP's channel, it is important that you configure a different channel for that RAP to exclude the radar affected channel at the controller.

Examples

This example shows to enable full-sector DFS on mesh access points:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh full-sector-dfs enable

config mesh linkdata

To enable external MAC filtering of access points, use the config mesh linkdata command.

config mesh linkdata destination_ap_name

Syntax Description

destination_ap_name

Destination access point name for MAC address filtering.

Command Default

External MAC filtering is disabled.

Usage Guidelines


Note

The config mesh linktest and config mesh linkdata commands are designed to be used together to verify information between a source and a destination access point. To get this information, first execute the config mesh linktest command with the access point that you want link data from in the dest_ap argument. When the command completes, enter the config mesh linkdata command and list the same destination access point, to display the link data will display (see example).


MAC filtering uses the local MAC filter on the controller by default.

When external MAC filter authorization is enabled, if the MAC address is not found in the local MAC filter, then the MAC address in the external RADIUS server is used.

MAC filtering protects your network against rogue mesh access points by preventing access points that are not defined on the external server from joining.

Before employing external authentication within the mesh network, the following configuration is required:

  • The RADUIS server to be used as an AAA server must be configured on the controller.

  • The controller must also be configured on the RADIUS server.

  • The mesh access point configured for external authorization and authentication must be added to the user list of the RADIUS server.

Examples

The following example shows how to enable external MAC address filtering on access point AP001d.710d.e300:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh linkdata MAP2-1-1522.7400 AP001d.710d.e300 18 100 1000 30

config mesh multicast

To configure multicast mode settings to manage multicast transmissions within the mesh network, use the config mesh multicast command.

config mesh multicast { regular | in | in-out}

Syntax Description

regular

Multicasts the video across the entire mesh network and all its segments by bridging-enabled root access points (RAPs) and mesh access points (MAPs).

in

Forwards the multicast video received from the Ethernet by a MAP to the RAP’s Ethernet network. No additional forwarding occurs, which ensures that non-LWAPP multicasts received by the RAP are not sent back to the MAP Ethernet networks within the mesh network (their point of origin), and MAP-to-MAP multicasts do not occur because they are filtered out

in-out

Configures the RAP and MAP to multicast, but each in a different manner:

If multicast packets are received at a MAP over Ethernet, they are sent to the RAP; however, they are not sent to other MAP Ethernets, and the MAP-to-MAP packets are filtered out of the multicast.

If multicast packets are received at a RAP over Ethernet, they are sent to all the MAPs and their respective Ethernet networks. See the Usage Guidelines section for more information.

Command Default

In-out mode

Command History

Release Modification
7.6 This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.

Usage Guidelines

Multicast for mesh networks cannot be enabled using the controller GUI.

Mesh multicast modes determine how bridging-enabled access points mesh access points (MAPs) and root access points (RAPs) send multicasts among Ethernet LANs within a mesh network. Mesh multicast modes manage non-LWAPP multicast traffic only. LWAPP multicast traffic is governed by a different mechanism.

You can use the controller CLI to configure three mesh multicast modes to manage video camera broadcasts on all mesh access points. When enabled, these modes reduce unnecessary multicast transmissions within the mesh network and conserve backhaul bandwidth.

When using in-out mode, it is important to properly partition your network to ensure that a multicast sent by one RAP is not received by another RAP on the same Ethernet segment and then sent back into the network.


Note

If 802.11b clients need to receive CAPWAP multicasts, then multicast must be enabled globally on the controller as well as on the mesh network (by using the config network multicast global command). If multicast does not need to extend to 802.11b clients beyond the mesh network, you should disable the global multicast parameter.


Examples

The following example shows how to multicast video across the entire mesh network and all its segments by bridging-enabled RAPs and MAPs:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh multicast regular

config mesh parent preferred

To configure a preferred parent for a mesh access point, use the config mesh parent preferred command.

config mesh parent preferred cisco_ap { mac_address | none}

Syntax Description

cisco_ap

Name of the child access point.

mac_address

MAC address of the preferred parent.

none

Clears the configured parent.

Command Default

None

Command History

Release Modification
7.6 This command was introduced in a release earlier than Release 7.6.

Usage Guidelines

A child AP selects the preferred parent based on the following conditions:

  • The preferred parent is the best parent.

  • The preferred parent has a link SNR of at least 20 dB (other parents, however good, are ignored).

  • The preferred parent has a link SNR in the range of 12 dB and 20 dB, but no other parent is significantly better (that is, the SNR is more than 20 percent better). For an SNR lower than 12 dB, the configuration is ignored.

  • The preferred parent is not in a blocked list.

  • The preferred parent is not in silent mode because of dynamic frequency selection (DFS).

  • The preferred parent is in the same bridge group name (BGN). If the configured preferred parent is not in the same BGN and no other parent is available, the child joins the parent AP using the default BGN.

Examples

The following example shows how to configure a preferred parent with the MAC address 00:21:1b:ea:36:60 for a mesh access point myap1:

(Cisco Controller) >config mesh parent preferred myap1 00:21:1b:ea:36:60

The following example shows how to clear a preferred parent with the MAC address 00:21:1b:ea:36:60 for a mesh access point myap1, by using the keyword none:
