3. Verify that a mesh network has been formed by checking if dotted lines appear between
the mesh nodes. These dotted lines identify the neighbor relationships that have been
established in the current mesh network.
NOTE: If your mesh spans multiple ZoneDirectors, it is possible for a node to be associated
to a different ZoneDirector than its parent or children.
Figure 146. Dotted lines indicate that these APs are part of the wireless mesh network
The symbols next to the AP icons indicate whether the AP is a Root AP, Mesh AP or eMAP. Refer
to the following table:
Table 35. Map View AP icons
An AP with the upward pointing arrow is a Root AP.
An AP with a number in a circle is a Mesh AP. The number indicates the
number of hops from the mesh AP to the Root AP.
An AP with a dimmed blue square indicates that it is a Root AP without
any active downlinks.
An AP with a red square is an Ethernet-Linked Mesh AP (eMAP).
An AP with an X icon is disconnected.
