Mesh Network Deployment - Quick Setup

This section provides instructions on how to quickly setup and demonstrate mesh functionality using
three Access Points. Two following two deployment scenarios will be addressed:
Scenario 1—Two base bridges (redundant) and one client bridge
●
Scenario 2—A two hop mesh network with a base bridge, repeater (combined base bridge and client
●
bridge mode) and a client bridge.

Scenario 1 - Two Base Bridges and One Client Bridge

In scenario 1, the following three Access Point configurations will be deployed within the mesh
network:
AP#1—An active base bridge
●
AP#2—A redundant base bridge
●
AP#3—A client bridge connecting to both AP#1 and AP#2 simultaneously.
●
AP#1 and AP#2 will be configured somewhat the same. However there are some important (yet subtle)
differences. Therefore, the configuration of each Access Point will be described separately.
