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:

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

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.
