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.

Supported on the following devices:

Access Points: AP3000/X, AP5010, AP310i/e, AP410i/e, AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP6522, AP6562, AP7161, AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP763, AP7662, AP8163, AP8543, AP8533.
Service Platforms: NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600
Virtual Platforms: CX9000, VX9000

Syntax

root

Parameters

None

Examples

There are two ways of configuring root access points within a meshpoint.

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

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)#

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.
