Mesh Access Point Roles

By default, the AP1520s are shipped with a radio role set to MAP. Therefore, you must change the radio
role on a mesh access point for it to function as RAP.
You can change this configuration on the mesh access point by statically setting them as rooftop access
points or mesh access points with the following command:
(Cisco Controller) > config ap role {rootAP | mesh AP | default}
To change the radio role can also be changed using the GUI,:
