force (meshpoint-config)

Forces formation of sub-optimal paths through the meshpoint‘s root node. As per legacy behavior, non-root devices under the same root, communicated by forming direct paths through the network. This option allows non-root devices, within the meshpoint, to communicate by forming paths through the root node.

Supported on the following devices:

Syntax

force [peer-paths-through-root|peer-paths-with-root]

Parameters

force [peer-paths-through-root|peer-paths-with-root]
force Forces formation of sub-optimal paths through the meshpoint root node.
peer-paths-through-root Forces non-root devices to communicate by forming sub-optimal paths through the root node. This option is disabled by default.
peer-paths-with-root Forces non-root devices to communicate by forming sub-optimal paths with the root node. Does not allow formation of ad-hoc peer-to-peer paths. This option is disabled by default.
