1 Configuring WLAN mesh
About WLAN mesh
WLAN mesh allows APs to be wirelessly connected. The APs on a WLAN mesh network can be connected directly or over multiple hops. When one AP fails, the remaining APs can still communicate with each other.
Benefits
WLAN mesh provides the following benefits:
· Low cost, high performance, and easy deployment.
· High expansibility without wires.
· Same good user experience as traditional WLANs.
WLAN mesh network
Figure1-1 shows a WLAN mesh network.
APs on a WLAN mesh network are mesh points (MPs). MPs play the following roles:
· Single-purpose MP—Provides only mesh services.
· Mesh access point (MAP)—Provides both mesh and access services.
· Mesh portal point (MPP)—Provides a wired connection to a wired network.
Figure1-1 WLAN mesh network diagram
Mesh profile
A mesh profile is a set of mesh protocol processing capabilities for an AP to operate on a mesh network. A mesh profile contains the following attributes:
· Mesh ID—Identifies a mesh network.
· Mesh security—Contains settings for neighbor authentication, including an authentication and key management mode, and a preshared key.
· Keepalive interval—Specifies the interval for sending keepalive packets over a mesh link. The MP with a higher MAC address sends keepalive packets at the keepalive interval to the peer end. The sending MP disconnects the mesh link if it has not received a reply before three consecutive keepalive intervals expire. The receiving MP disconnects the mesh link if it has not received keepalive packets before three consecutive keepalive intervals expire. For correct link status detection, the keepalive interval at the sending end must be equal to or less than three times the keepalive interval at the receiving end.
To form a mesh network, APs must have the same mesh ID and mesh security settings.
Neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment
MPs must operate at the same radio mode and on the same channel to discover each other. MPs can establish a mesh link after they discover each other and establish a peer relationship.
The following are the available discovery methods:
· Active scanning—The MP sends Probe Request frames to discover neighbors and establish peer relationships.
· Passive scanning—The MP listens to Beacon frames to collect information about other MPs. If there are neighbors, the AP sends Probe Request frames to request establishing a peer relationship.
This section uses active scanning to describe the neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment process.
As shown in Figure1-2, MPs attempt to establish peer relationships by exchanging their mesh profiles in Probe Request and Probe Response frames.
One MP adds another MP as a mesh peer if the following conditions are met:
· The MPs' mesh profiles match.
· The Accepting Peer Links bit in the received request or response is set.
The MP peers attempt to establish a mesh link by sending a Link Open request to each other. The mesh link is established after the MP peers acknowledge the Link Open request received from each other.
Figure1-2 Neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment on a WLAN mesh network
Fit APs must obtain a mesh profile from the AC before they can establish peer relationships. For this purpose, a fit AP performs the following tasks before it attempts to establish mesh peer relationships:
1. Establishes a temporary link to the first detected WLAN mesh network to discover the AC. This link can only transfer configuration data.
2. Attempts to establish CAPWAP tunnels with the AC to obtain configuration, including the mesh profile.
3. Disconnects the temporary link after obtaining the configuration.
Then, the fit AP can perform neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment to join the WLAN mesh network.
If the fit AP fails to establish CAPWAP tunnels with the AC, the fit AP will try the rest of detected mesh networks one by one.
Wireless distribution system
Wireless distribution systems (WDSs) are applications of WLAN mesh. A WDS uses the mesh links between APs to connect dispersed LANs. The APs transfer the 802.3 frames that come from the LANs in the form of 802.11s frames over the mesh links.
You can create a WDS in point-to-point or star topology by administratively making sure mesh links are established between selected APs. Alternatively, you can use the topology that is created automatically by APs through automatic neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment without administrative intervention.
Point-to-point topology
As shown in Figure1-3, you can set up a mesh link between two APs to connect two LANs.
Figure1-3 WDS point to point topology
Star topology
As shown in Figure1-4, you can set up mesh links between one central AP and multiple leaf APs to connect multiple LANs. In this topology, all data between LANs must traverse the central AP (AP 4 in this example).
Topology created without administrative intervention
Without administrative intervention, the WDS topology depends on the result of automatic neighbor discovery and mesh link establishment between APs.
Figure1-5 Automatic topology setup
VLAN
VLANs can be deployed in mesh networks for devices in different LANs to communicate with each other. Figure1-6 shows the application of VLANs in high-speed railway mesh networks.
As shown in Figure1-6, an AC and multiple APs are deployed in each carriage on a train. All devices are assigned to the same VLAN. Therefore, the two APs at both ends of each carriage can act as MPPs to establish mesh links with the MPPs on the adjacent carriages. Other APs provide WLAN access services. All devices communicate with the outside through the central server deployed in the middle of the train.
Figure1-6 High-speed railway mesh network
Mesh peer blacklist or whitelist
You can configure the blacklist or whitelist to control whether an MP neighbor can establish a mesh link with the local MP.
If you configure both the blacklist and whitelist, only the whitelist takes effect and only MP neighbors in the whitelist can establish a mesh link with the local MP. If only the blacklist is configured, MP neighbors in the blacklist cannot establish a mesh link with the local MP.

Restrictions and guidelines: WLAN mesh configuration
You can configure APs by using the following methods:
· Configure APs one by one in AP view.
· Assign APs to an AP group and configure the AP group in AP group view.
· Configure all APs in global configuration view.
For an AP, the settings made in these views for the same parameter take effect in descending order of AP view, AP group view, and global configuration view.
