Hello,
I have two AP 7131 access point which I am trying to connect with Mesh. Both are running on Wing 5.7. How can I accomplish that? I have reading some topics here and some documentations here but it does not look like I am getting it right. Can anyone please give me step by step instructions using gui I really appreciate it. Thanks in advanced.
Thanks
Forhad

I am still trouble shooting.

Hi Forhad, I just wanted to check in with you here, was the IP address the issue or are you still troubleshooting this?

Hi Ovais,
1- Did you configure one of the APs as a VC? if you did, please send me the running-config from the VC so that I can cross-check the configuration.

2- Do you have an SSID configured on both the Root and Non-Root APs for the clients? This SSID will be mapped to 2.4GHz radio since the 5GHz interface is used for the Mesh link.
Yes I have SSID configured. How do I map this SSID to 2.4GHz radio. Do I need to this on both APs ?
3- Did you allow the VLAN used by the client SSID under the MeshConnex Policy?
I do not see any option under the MeshConnex Policy to allow VLAN used by the client SSID. Please see the picture below.
4- Is there a Line of Sight between the two APs when you move the non-Root away from the Root AP?
There are walls between the APS.
One thing I have noticed when I am trying to connect to the internet from a client, the client is not getting the ip address from my router. Maybe that is the issue ?
Thanks

Hi Forhad,
You can skip the Smart-RF configuration and set the 5GHz interface on both APs to the same channel by navigating to Configuration > System Profile > Interfaces > Radios > Radio 2 > Channel (set the channel to any non-DFS channel, you can use channel 36,40,44,48).
From the screenshot, it looks like that you have a 5GHz Mesh link established between the two APs, which is good. I need to understand your scenario a bit more to be able to help you out. Please clarify the following:
1- Did you configure one of the APs as a VC? if you did, please send me the running-config from the VC so that I can cross-check the configuration.
2- Do you have an SSID configured on both the Root and Non-Root APs for the clients? This SSID will be mapped to 2.4GHz radio since the 5GHz interface is used for the Mesh link.
3- Did you allow the VLAN used by the client SSID under the MeshConnex Policy?
4- Is there a Line of Sight between the two APs when you move the non-Root away from the Root AP?

Ovais
