Usage Guidelines
Mesh cluster profiles are specific to mesh nodes (APs configured for mesh) and provide the framework of the
mesh network. You must define and configure the mesh cluster profile before configuring an AP to operate as
a mesh node.
You can configure multiple mesh cluster profiles to be used within a mesh cluster. You must configure different
priority levels for each mesh cluster profile. See ap-group or ap-name for more information about priorities.
Cluster profiles, including the “default” profile, are not applied until you provision your APs for mesh.
Example
The following command configures a mesh cluster profile named “cluster1” for the mesh cluster
“headquarters:”
ap mesh-cluster-profile cluster1
cluster headquarters
