• IP Mode: Select IPv4 only, IPv6 only or dual IPv4/IPv6 addressing mode.
• If you want the AP to keep its current IP address, click Keep AP's Setting. If the AP's IP

on the network, click the DHCP option in Management IP. You do not need to configure

recommends leaving this setting on Auto to reduce the risk of isolating a Mesh AP. Select
Disable if you do not want this AP to be part of your mesh network.

select the Manual radio button under Advanced Options > Uplink Selection (default is
Smart). The other APs in the mesh appear below the selection.
8. Select the check box next to each AP that you want to allow the current AP to use as an
uplink.
NOTE: If you set Uplink Selection for an AP to Manual and the uplink AP that you selected is
off or unavailable, the AP status on the Monitor > Access Points page will appear as Isolated
Mesh AP. See
Figure 108. Manual uplink selection for APs in a mesh
