root (meshpoint-config)

Configures this meshpoint as the root meshpoint. Root meshpoints are generally tied to an Ethernet backhaul for wired connectivity. By default this option is disabled.

Configured on WiNG 7.1.X controller and pushed to the following WiNG 5.9.X APs:

  • Access Points — AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8543, AP8533

Syntax

root

Parameters

None

Examples

There are two ways of configuring root access points within a meshpoint.
  1. First method:
    • Configure two meshpoints, having the same meshid, one with the root option enabled and the other configured as no root
    • Apply the root meshpoint to the root access point and the no-root meshpoint to the non-root access points.
    The following examples show the configuration of a meshpoint for the root access point:
    nx9500-6C8809(config)#meshpoint root
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#meshid test
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#root
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#security-mode eap
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#commit
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#show context
    meshpoint root
     meshid test
     beacon-format mesh-point
     control-vlan 1
     security-mode eap
     root
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-root)#
    The following examples show the configuration of a meshpoint for non-root access points:
    nx9500-6C8809(config)#meshpoint no-root
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#meshid test
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#security-mode eap
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#show context
    meshpoint no-root
     meshid test
     beacon-format mesh-point
     control-vlan 1
     security-mode eap
     no root
    nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#
  2. Second method:
    • Configure a no-root meshpoint and apply to all access points in the meshpoint.
    • Log into the meshpoint-device > no-root configuration mode of the root access point and enable root.
      nx9500-6C8809(config-meshpoint-no-root)#show context
      meshpoint no-root
       meshid test
       beacon-format mesh-point
       control-vlan 1
       security-mode eap
       no root
