Mesh Network Name
If the Client Bridge checkbox has been selected, enter a Mesh Network Name to
define the WLAN (ESS) the client bridge uses to establish a wireless link. Brocade
recommends creating (and naming) a WLAN specifically for mesh networking
support to differentiate the Mesh supported WLAN from non-Mesh supported
WLANs.
Mesh Time Out Define whether one of the radio's beacons uses an uplink connection. The Mesh
Timeout value is not available on a single-radio AP, since the radio would have to
stop beaconing and go into scan mode to determine if a base bridge uplink is lost.
The following drop-down menu options are available:
Disabled - When disabled, both radios are up at boot time and beaconing. If one
radio (radio 1) does not have a mesh connection, the other radio (radio 2) is not
affected. Radio 2 continues to beacon and associate Clients, but Client's can only
communicate amongst themselves using the access point. Disabled is the default
value.
Uplink detect - The AP only boots up the radio configured as a client bridge. The AP
boots up the second radio as soon as the first mesh connection is established.
However, if the client bridge radio loses its uplink connection, the second radio
shuts down immediately. Uplink detect is the recommended setting within a
multi-hop mesh network.
Enabled - If the mesh connection is down on one radio (radio 1), the other radio
(radio 2) is brought down and stops beaconing after the timeout period. This allows
the client bridge (radio 1) to roam without dropping the Client's associated to radio
2. The disadvantage is that radio 2 may beacon for the timeout period and have to
drop associated Client's because radio 1 could not establish its uplink.
