Provisioning the Mesh Wireless AP

This step is of crucial importance and involves connecting the Mesh APs to the enterprise network via the Ethernet link. This is done to enable the Mesh APs to connect to the wireless controller so that they can derive their Mesh configuration.

The Mesh AP‘s configuration includes pre-shared key and its role, preferred parent name and the backup parent name.

Note

The provisioning of Mesh APs must be done before they are deployed at the target location. If the APs are not provisioned, they will not work at their target location.
