Use the aplist-wds command to add an AP to a dynamic mesh type WLAN service configuration. The aplist-wds command is accessible from the wlans:<WLAN-service-name> context of the CLI when the WLAN service type is mesh.
aplist-wds (WDS) for information about using the command to configure a WDS type of WLAN service.
| ap-name | Name of the AP being assigned to the WLAN service. |
| none|portal|mesh | none = default, not assigned to the WLAN service.portal = the AP is a mesh portal (equivalent to parent in static mesh WLANs).mesh = the AP is a mesh AP. |
| wkgbridge (on|off) | Configures the work group bridging |
| radio1|radio2 | For a dual-band radio AP, if more than one available radio matches the backhaul radio settings, select one of the radios for backhaul. |
An AP can be assigned to either a static mesh/WDS WLAN service or a dynamic mesh WLAN service, but not to both types of mesh service at the same time.
On dual-band APs, if only one radio matches the backhaul radio band, selecting a radio is optional. If a radio is selected but it is the wrong one, the system will print an error message.
If more than one radio matches the backhaul radio band, then selecting a radio is mandatory and an error message will print if no radio is selected.
The following example adds the AP named lab-ap1 as a mesh portal with work group bridging on for dynamic mesh WLAN mesh1-wlan:
