path-method (meshpoint-device-config)

Configures the path selection method used on a meshpoint device. This is the method used to select the route to the root node within a mesh network.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP5010, AP 6522, AP 6532, AP 6562, AP 7161, AP 7502, AP-7522, AP 7532, AP-7562, AP7632, AP7662, AP-8432, AP-8533

Syntax

path-method [bound-pair|mobile-snr-leaf|snr-leaf|uniform]

Parameters

path-method [bound-pair|mobile-snr-leaf|snr-leaf|uniform]


path-method	Sets the method used to select the path to the root node in a mesh network
bound-path	Enables a meshpoint to form an exclusive path with only one other meshpoint. Select this option to bind one mesh point connection at a time. Once established, other mesh point connection requests are denied.
mobile-snr-leaf	Configures the path selection method as mobile-snr-leaf. When selected, the path to the root node is selected based on the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) to a neighboring device. This option allows meshpoint devices to select a neighbor with the strongest SNR. Meshpoint devices using the mobile-snr-leaf method are non-forwarding nodes in the meshpoint traffic. Note: Select this option for VMM (Vehicular Mounted Modem) access points or other mobile devices.
snr-leaf	This option allows meshpoints to select a neighbor with the strongest SNR. It is similar to the mobile-snr-leaf option, but is not applicable to mobile devices, such as VMMs.
uniform	Indicates the path selection method is uniform. When selected, two paths will be considered equivalent if the average goodput is the same for both paths. This is the default setting. Note: Select this option for infrastructure devices.
