Before you install APs in a mesh networking environment, you must do the following:

Define and configure the mesh cluster profile and mesh radio profile before configuring an AP to operate as a



mesh node. An AP configured for mesh is also known as a mesh node.

Provision one of the following mesh roles on the AP:



Mesh portal: The gateway between the wireless mesh network and the enterprise wired LAN.



Mesh point: APs that can provide traditional Dell WLAN services (such as client connectivity, intrusion



detection system (IDS) capabilities, user roles association, LAN-to-LAN bridging, and Quality of Service

(QoS) for LAN-to-mesh communication) to clients on one radio and perform mesh backhaul/network

connectivity on the other radio. Mesh points provides LAN-to-LAN bridging through their Ethernet

interfaces. It can now provide backhaul and access BSSIDs on the same radio.

For detailed provisioning guidelines, caveats, and instructions, see the "Secure Enterprise Mesh" chapter in the

Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User Guide.

Install the APs

Refer to the AP placement map generated by RF Plan to identify the locations in which to physically install your

APs. You can either connect the AP directly to a port on the controller, or connect the AP to another switch or

router that has Layer-2 or Layer-3 connectivity to the controller.

If the Ethernet port on the controller is an 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) port, the AP automatically uses it

to power up. If a PoE port is not available, contact your Dell vendor to obtain an AC adapter for the AP.

Once an AP is connected to the network and powered up, it will automatically attempt to locate the controller.

You can view a list of all APs connected to the controller by accessing the Configuration > Wireless > AP

Installation page in the controller WebUI.

Figure 2

An AP installed on the network advertises its default SSID. Wireless users can connect to this SSID, but will not

have access to the network until you configure authentication policies and user roles for your wireless users. For

complete details on authentication policies and user roles, refer to the Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS User

Guide.
