Release Notes

Parameter Description Range Default
g-tx rates
Indicates the transmit rates for the
802.11b/g radio.
The AP attempts to use the highest
transmission rate to establish a mesh link.
If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes through
the list and uses the next highest rate.

Mbps
heartbeat-
threshold
Indicates the maximum number of
heartbeat messages that can be lost
between neighboring mesh nodes.
1-255 10
hop-count
Indicates the maximum hop count from the
mesh portal.
1-32 8
link-threshold
Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI
value is below this threshold, the link may
be considered a sub-threshold link. A sub-
threshold link is a link whose average RSSI
value falls below the configured threshold.
If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find
a better link on the same channel and
cluster (only neighbors on the same
channel are considered).
The supported threshold is hardware
dependent, with a practical range of 10-90.

mesh-ht-ssid-profile
High-throughput SSID Profile for the mesh
feature.
default
max-retries
Maximum number of times a mesh node
can re-send a packet.
0-15 4 times
mesh-mcast-opt
Enables or disables scanning of all active
stations currently associated to a mesh
point to select the lowest transmission rate
based on the slowest connected mesh
child.
When enabled, this setting dynamically
adjusts the multicast rate to that of the
slowest connected mesh child. Multicast
frames are not sent if there are no mesh
children.
Best practices are to use the default value.
enabled
mesh-survivability
Allow mesh points and portals to become
active even if the controller cannot be
reached by bridging LAN traffic. This is a
beta feature that is disabled by default; it
should not be enabled unless you are
instructed to do so by Dell technical
suppport.

tree-
rssi
metric-
algorithm
Specifies the algorithm used by a mesh
node to select its parent.
Best practices are to use the default value
distributed-tree-rssi.
