Managing Mesh Access Points with Cisco Prime Infrastructure

You cannot initially configure indoor mesh access points into bridge mode from the Prime Infrastructure.
Managing Mesh Access Points with Cisco Prime Infrastructure
Cisco Prime Infrastructure is a complete platform for enterprise-wide WLAN systems management. It provides
a wide range of tools for visualizing and controlling the mesh, including histograms of signal-to-noise ratio,
mesh detail information, mesh access point neighbor and link information, seven-day temporal link information,
and tools to identify and avoid RF interference.
This section addresses the following Prime Infrastructure monitoring capabilities:

Monitoring Mesh Networks Using Maps

You can access and view details for the following elements from a mesh network map in the Cisco Prime
Infrastructure.:
• Mesh Link Statistics
• Mesh Access Points
• Mesh Access Point Neighbors
Details on how this information is accessed and the information displayed for each of these items is detailed
in the following sections.

Monitoring Mesh Link Statistics Using Maps

You can view the SNR for a specific mesh network link, view the number of packets transmitted and received
on that link, and initiate a link test from the Monitor > Maps display.
To view details on a specific mesh link between two mesh access points or a mesh access point and a root
access point, follow these steps:
Step 1 In Cisco Prime Infrastructure, choose Monitor > Maps.
Step 2
Click the Map Name that corresponds to the outdoor area, campus, building, or floor you want to monitor.
Step 3 Move the cursor over the link arrow for the target link. A Mesh Link page appears.
