The added or edited profile appears on the Profiles > IDS > Unauthorized Devices page. Profiles > Mesh Mesh profiles help define and bring-up the mesh network. This section describes the mesh radio and mesh cluster profiles in more detail.  Radio-Dell PowerConnect W provides a "default" version of the mesh radio profile. You can use the "default" version or create a new instance of a profile which you can then edit as you need. The mesh radio profile allows you to specify the set of rates used to transmit data on the mesh link. Refer to "Profiles > Mesh > Radio" on page 90.  Radio > Mesh HT SSID-The mesh high-throughput SSID profile enables or disables high-throughput (802.11n) features for the SSID specified in the profile. Refer to "Profiles > Mesh > Radio > Mesh HT SSID" on page 92.  Cluster-Mesh clusters are grouped and defined by a mesh cluster profile, which provides the framework of the mesh network. Similar to virtual AP profiles, the mesh cluster profile contains the MSSID (mesh cluster name), authentication methods, security credentials, and cluster priority required for mesh nodes to associate with their neighbors and join the cluster. Associated mesh nodes store this information in flash memory. Although most mesh deployments will require only a single mesh cluster profile, you can configure and apply multiple mesh cluster profiles to an AP group or an individual AP. If you have multiple cluster profiles, the mesh portal uses the profile with the highest priority to bring up the mesh network. Mesh points, in contrast, go through the list of mesh cluster profiles in order of priority to decide which profile to use to associate themselves with the network. The mesh cluster priority determines the order by which the mesh cluster profiles are used. This allows you, rather than the link metric algorithm, to explicitly segment the network by defining multiple cluster profiles. AirWave provides a "default" version of the mesh cluster profile. You can use the "default" version or create a new instance of a profile which you can then edit as you need.
