With this feature enabled, the AC allows fit APs to share mesh-related configuration information with a CPE upon receiving an automatic connection request from the CPE. This enables the CPE not configured with a mesh profile to automatically establish a stable mesh link with the local end.

Use this feature together with the mesh auto-connect enable command.

Examples

# Enable automatic mesh link establishment.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan mesh-policy 1

[Sysname-wlan-mesh-policy-1] auto-connect enable

This operation will allow the device to share mesh configuration, which might cause security issues. Continue? [Y/N]:Y

Views

Mesh profile view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

keepalive-interval: Specifies a keepalive interval in the range of 1 to 1800 seconds.

Usage guidelines

MPs on a mesh link use keepalive packets to detect mesh link status. 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.

Examples

# Set the mesh link keepalive interval to 6 seconds in mesh profile 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan mesh-profile 1

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Usage guidelines

Application scenarios

In MLSP scenarios, to enhance the reliability of mesh links and reduce the packet loss rate, you can enable multi-link transmission of unicast data packets on trackside APs and onboard APs, and enable centralized forwarding for mesh data packets on trackside APs.

Operating mechanism

After you enable multi-link transmission of mesh unicast data packets on trackside APs and onboard APs, the APs transmit the same mesh unicast data packets through multiple mesh links.

After you enable centralized forwarding of mesh data packets on trackside APs, the trackside APs pass the received mesh data packets through the CAPWAP tunnel to the AC for processing, facilitating the AC to eliminate duplicate mesh data packets.

Restrictions and guidelines

You can change the forwarding location of mesh data packets only when the mesh profile is disabled.

Examples

# Enable centralized forwarding of mesh data packets.

<H3C> system-view

[H3C] wlan mesh-profile 1

[H3C-wlan-mesh-profile-1] mesh forwarding-location ac

undo mesh multi-link-transmit enable [ acl ]

Default

Multi-link transmission of mesh unicast data packets is disabled.

Views

Mesh policy view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

acl acl-number: Specifies the number of an IPv4 advanced ACL, in the range of 3000 to 3999. If you do not specify this option, the command enables multi-link transmission on all mesh unicast data packets.

Usage guidelines

Application scenarios

Operating mechanism

After you enable multi-link transmission of mesh unicast data packets on trackside APs and onboard APs, the APs transmit the same mesh unicast data packets through multiple mesh links.

Restrictions and guidelines

After you specify an ACL, any mesh unicast data packets that match the ACL will be transmitted over multiple mesh links, regardless of whether the packets are allowed or denied in the ACL.

Examples

# Enable multi-link transmission on all mesh unicast data packets.

Parameters

vlan-id: Specifies a VLAN ID in the range of 1 to 4094.

Usage guidelines

You can specify a non-existent VLAN as the port VLAN for a hybrid port.

Make sure the mesh interfaces used by two MPs to establish mesh links with each other have the same PVID.

To enable a trunk port to transmit packets from its port VLAN, you must assign the trunk port to the port VLAN.

Examples

# Set the PVID of WLAN-mesh 1 to VLAN 100, and assign WLAN-mesh 1 to VLAN 100 as an untagged member for AP ap1.

<Sysname> system-view

mesh-profile

Use mesh-profile to bind a mesh profile to a radio.

Use mesh-profile disable to unbind a mesh profile from a radio and configure the AP to not inherit the configuration in an AP group's radio views.

Use undo mesh-profile to restore the default.

Syntax

Radio view:

mesh-profile { mesh-profile-number | disable }

undo mesh-profile

AP group's radio view:

mesh-profile mesh-profile-number

undo mesh-profile

Default

In radio view, an AP uses the configuration in an AP group's radio view.

In an AP group's radio view, no mesh profile is bound to a radio.

Views

Radio view

AP group's radio view

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

mesh-profile-number: Specifies a mesh profile by its number in the range of 1 to 32.

Usage guidelines

When you bind a mesh profile to a radio, the AC first checks the current forwarding mode of the online AP. If the AP is in NSS hardware forwarding mode, it must be restarted to switch to data-path (DP) mode before the mesh profile can be successfully bound. If the AP is offline, the AC device will check the forwarding mode after the AP comes online.

The configuration in radio view takes precedence over the configuration in an AP group's radio views.

Examples

# Bind mesh profile 1 to radio 1 of AP ap1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan ap ap1 model WA6320

[Sysname-wlan-ap-ap1] radio 1

[Sysname-wlan-ap-ap1-radio-1] mesh-profile 1

# Bind mesh profile 2 to radio 1 of APs in AP group g1.

Usage guidelines

As the mesh point that connects the WLAN mesh network to a wired network, an MPP might need to establish a large number of mesh links. To maintain its performance, you can disable the MPP from sending probe requests for neighbor discovery. The MPP will only respond to the probe requests from other MPs.

Examples

# Disable an MPP from sending probe requests for AP ap1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan ap ap1 model WA6320

[Sysname-wlan-ap-ap1] portal-service enable

# Disable an MPP from sending probe requests for APs in AP group group1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan ap-group group1

[Sysname-wlan-ap-group-group1] portal-service enable

# Disable the MPPs from sending probe requests globally.

Predefined user roles

network-admin

Parameters

pass-phrase: Sets the key in character string form.

raw-key: Sets the key in hexadecimal form.

cipher: Specifies the key in encrypted form.

simple: Specifies the key in plaintext form. For security purposes, the key specified in plaintext form will be stored in encrypted form.

string: Specifies a case-sensitive key string. The following are the key length ranges:

· pass-phrase plaintext—8 to 63 characters.

· pass-phrase ciphertext—41 to 117 characters.

· raw-key plaintext—64 hexadecimal digits.

· raw-key ciphertext—117 characters.

Usage guidelines

Make sure the mesh profile is disabled before you use this command.

You can configure only one preshared key in a mesh profile. If you execute this command multiple times, the most recent configuration takes effect.

Examples

# Add preshared key abcdefghig in plain text to mesh profile 1.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] wlan mesh-profile 1

[Sysname-wlan-mesh-profile-1] preshared-key pass-phrase simple abcdefghig
