A MiNT policy secures communications at the transport layer. Using MiNT, a device can be configured to communicate only with other MiNT activated devices.
Use this procedure to configure or edit a MiNT policy.

Note
Use this procedure to configure a device profile, or to override profile settings for a specific device.The MiNT Protocol Pool tab displays by default.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Area Identifier | |
| Level 1 Area ID | Configure local MiNT routing settings. Options are:
|
| Priority Adjustment | |
| Designated IS Priority Adjustment | Sets the relative priority for the router to become the Designated Intermediate System (DIS) or designated router. Set the Designated IS Priority Adjustment to a value in the range -255 – 255, which is added to the base level DIS priority to influence the DIS election. Higher values increase priority. |
| Control Priority | Select to assign a priority value that determines the probability of the election of this device (in comparison to others) to a Level 2 router. Higher values increase the probability of this device being elected. This option is disabled by default. |
| Shortest Path First (SPF) | |
| Latency of Routing Recalculation | Select to set the latency of routing recalculation (within the Shortest Path First (SPF) field). Specify the latency using a value in the range 0 – 60 seconds This option is disabled by default. |
| Mint Link Settings | |
| MLCP IP | Select MLCP
IP to activate MiNT Link
Creation Protocol using an IP address. MLCP is used to create a UDP/IP link from the device to a neighbor. The neighboring device does not need to a controller or a service platform. It can be another access point with a path to the controller or service platform. |
| MLCP IPv6 | Select MLCP IPv6 to activate MLCP for automated MiNT UDP/IP link creation. |
| MLCP VLAN | Select MLCP
VLAN to activate MiNT MLCP by VLAN. MLCP is used to create one VLAN link from the device to a neighbor. The neighboring device does not need to be a controller or service platform, it can be another access point with a path to the controller or service platform. |
| Tunnel MiNT Across Extended VLAN | Select Tunnel MINT Across Extended VLAN to tunnel MiNT protocol packets across an extended VLAN. |
| Tunnel Controller Load Balancing | |
| Tunnel Controller Load Balancing (Level 1) | If available to your controller, select to enable load balancing of MiNT extended VLAN traffic through a WLAN tunnel controller. |
| Inter Tunnel Bridging | |
| Inter Tunnel Bridging (Level 2) | Select to enable forwarding of broadcast multicast (BCMC)
packets between devices communicating via Level 2
MiNT links. When enabled, MiNT tunnels across Level
2, adopted access points are bridged. One of the
advantages of inter-tunnel bridging is the enabling of
roaming between these access points. This option is
disabled by default.
Note: If you enable this option, use ACLs to filter unwanted BCMC
traffic.

Note
You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.
Note
This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
Note
If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
