  • Page 595: Chapter 9. Configuring Mesh Networking

    Configuring Mesh Networking 9.1 Mesh Networking Overview An AP-7131 can be configured in two modes to support the new mesh networking functionality. The access point can be set to a client bridge mode and/or a base bridge mode (which accepts connections from client bridges).
  • Page 596 A mesh network must use one of the two access point LANs. If intending to use the access point for mesh networking support, Motorola recommends configuring at least one WLAN (of the 16 WLANs available) specifically for mesh networking support.
  • Page 597: The Ap-7131 Client Bridge Association Process

    MU traffic with its associated devices. CAUTION Only Motorola AP-7131, AP-5131 or AP-5181 model access points can be used as base bridges, client bridges or repeaters within an access point supported mesh network. If utilizing a mesh network, Motorola recommends considering a dual-radio model to optimize channel utilization and throughput.
  • Page 598: Client Bridge Configuration Process Example

    9.1.2 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) The access point performs mesh networking using STP as defined in the 802.1d standard. NOTE The Motorola AP-4131 access point uses a non-standard form of 802.1d STP, and is therefore not compatible as a base bridge or client bridge within an access point managed network.
  • Page 599: Defining The Mesh Topology

    Configuring Mesh Networking Support on page 9-6. 9.1.4 Mesh Networking and the AP-7131’s Two Subnets The access point now has a second subnet on the LAN side of the system. This means wireless clients communicating through the same radio can reside on different subnets. The addition of this feature adds another layer of complexity to the access point’s mesh networking functionality.
  • Page 600: Normal Operation

    AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 9.1.5 Normal Operation Once the mesh network is defined, all normal access point operations are still allowed. MUs are still allowed to associate with the access point as usual. The user can create WLANs, security polices and VLANs as with any other access point.
  • Page 601 The user does not necessarily have to change these settings, as the default settings will work. However, Motorola encourages the user to define an access point as a base bridge and root (using the base bridge priority settings within the Bridge STP Configuration screen). Members of the mesh network can be configured as client bridges or additional base bridges with a higher priority value.
  • Page 602 (commonly referred to as the root). Motorola recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root of the STP doesn't get altered.

    Adaptive AP 10.1 Adaptive AP Overview An adaptive AP (AAP) is an AP-7131 access point that can adopt like an AP300 (L3). The management of an AAP is conducted by the switch, once the access point connects to a Motorola WS5100, RFS6000 or RFS7000 model switch and receives its AAP configuration.
  • Page 634: Where To Go From Here

    10-2 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide The benefits of an AAP deployment include: • Centralized Configuration Management & Compliance - Wireless configurations across distributed sites can be centrally managed by the wireless switch or cluster. • WAN Survivability - Local WLAN services at a remote sites are unaffected in the case of a WAN outage.

    Adaptive AP 10-5 10.1.4.2 Manual Adoption Configuration A manual switch adoption of an AAP can be conducted using: • Static FQDN - A switch fully qualified domain name can be specified to perform a DNS lookup and switch discovery. • Static IP addresses - Up to 12 switch IP addresses can be manually specified in an ordered list the AP can choose from.
  • Page 638: Configuration Updates

    10-6 AP-7131 Access Point Product Reference Guide 10.1.7 Configuration Updates An AAP receives its configuration from the switch initially as part of its adoption sequence. Subsequent configuration changes on the switch are reflected on an AAP when applicable. An AAP applies the configuration changes it receives from the switch after 30 seconds from the last received switch configuration message.
