How to determine the ap is working on mesh or wired backhaul?

[zlinuxboy]

I deploy 4 APs at home, here is the cli output of the original ACSP

# show acsp
Interface Channel select state  Primary channel  Channel width Power ctrl state      Tx power(dbm) Use Last Selection
--------- --------------------- ---------------- ------------- --------------------- ------------- ---------------------
Wifi0     Enable                1                20            Enable                16            Channel:No  Power:No
Wifi1     Enable                149              40            Enable                13            Channel:No  Power:No
​

then, I unplug the AP's RJ45, after a while it automatically mesh through wifi backhual with the other AP

​

and I plug back this AP's RJ45:

so, my question is: how to determine which mode the ap is working after the wired backhual restored? stay on wireless backhual or switch back to wired backhual?

but no matter what, stay the same channel with neighbor ap is not a good idea, afterall, it will create unnecessary interference and decrease the wifi performance.

Hello,

Could you append the output of show interface for that device

[zlinuxboy]

of course

another question: how to put an ap to do acsp selection immediately under CLI without reboot?
