Viewing The Mesh Network Hierarchy - Cisco aironet 1522 Design And Deployment Manual

Adding and Managing Mesh Access Points with Cisco WCS

Viewing the Mesh Network Hierarchy

You can view the parent-child relationship of mesh access points within a mesh network in an easily
navigable display. You can also filter which mesh access points display on the Map view, by selecting
only mesh access points of interest.
To view the mesh network hierarchy for a selected network, follow these steps.
Step 1 Choose Monitor > Maps.
Step 2 Select the map you want to display.
Step 3 Click the Layers arrow to expand that menu. (See
Figure 105
Step 4 Check the AP Mesh Info check box if it is not already checked.
Note
Step 5 Click the AP Mesh Info arrow to display the mesh parent-child hierarchy.
Click the plus (+) sign next to a mesh access point to display its children.
Step 6
All subordinate mesh access points are displayed when a negative (-) sign displays next to the parent
mesh access point entry. For example, in
only one child, indoor-mesh-44-map2.
Step 7 Move the cursor over the colored dot next to each mesh access point child to view details on the link
between it and its parent.
The color of the dot also provides a quick reference point of the SNR strength.
