Configuring Mesh Networking
9-35
Resolution
Yes, the access points are fairly close from a software deployment standpoint. So it is a supported
configuration for three models to exist in a single topology.
Mesh Deployment Issue 9 - Can I mesh between and an access point and an AP300?
Can I mesh between an AP-7131N-FGR and a AP300 model access port?
Resolution
No, an AP300 does not support mesh networking.
Mesh Deployment Issue 10 - Can I update firmware/configuration files across a
mesh backhaul?
Can I update device firmware over the mesh backhaul on a client bridge or repeater AP with no wired
connectivity?
Resolution
Yes, an AP-7131N-FGR support wireless firmware updates.
Mesh Deployment Issue 12 - Can I perform firmware/configuration file updates
with DHCP options?
Can I use the AP's Automatic Firmware/Configuration update functionalities with DHCP Options on
the AP for mesh nodes as well?
Resolution
Yes, mesh nodes also support Automatic Firmware/Configuration updates using DHCP Options. Make
sure you create DHCP reservations for each mesh node and add an appropriate configuration file to
each one of them. If you don't, the base bridge configuration file could get applied on a client bridge
or repeater and you will loose connectivity to that AP.
Mesh Deployment Issue 13 - Why do I lose connectivity when updating
configurations?
When I make a configuration change and apply the changes on a client bridge or repeater, I
momentarily loose connectivity to that AP, why?
