Table 37 Profiles > Mesh > Cluster Profile Settings (Continued) Field Default Description Name Blank Other Settings Enter the name of the profile. Cluster Name aruba-mesh Enter the mesh cluster name. The name can have a maximum of 32 characters, which is used as the MSSID. When you create a new cluster profile, it is a member of the "Dell PowerConnect W-mesh" cluster. NOTE: Each mesh cluster profile should have a unique MSSID. Configure a new MSSID before you apply the mesh cluster profile. To view existing mesh cluster profiles, use the command: show ap mesh-cluster-profile. A mesh portal chooses the best cluster profile and provisions it for use. A mesh point can have a maximum of 16 cluster profiles RF Band a Use this setting to indicate the band for mesh operation for multiband radios. Select a or g. Important: If you create more than one mesh cluster profile for an AP or AP group, each mesh cluster profile must use the same band Encryption Open System Use this setting to configure the data encryption, which can be either open system (no authentication or h) or WPA2-PSK-AES (WPA2 with AES encryption using a preshared key). AirWave recommends selecting WPA2-PSK-AES and entering a passphrase (see WPA Passphrase). Keep the passphrase in a safe place. 3. Select Add or Save. The added or edited Cluster profile appears on Profiles > Mesh > Cluster. Profiles > QoS The following QoS profiles configure traffic management and VoIP functions.  Traffic Management-Specifies the minimum percentage of available bandwidth to be allocated to a specific SSID when there is congestion on the wireless network, and sets the interval between bandwidth usage reports. Refer to "Profiles > QoS > Traffic Management" on page 95.  VoIP Call Admission Control-Dell PowerConnect W's Voice Call Admission Control limits the number of active voice calls per AP by load-balancing or ignoring excess call requests. This profile enables active load balancing and call admission controls, and sets limits for the numbers of simultaneous Session Initiated Protocol (SIP), SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP), Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Vocera or New Office Environment (NOE) calls that can be handled by a single radio. Refer to "Profiles > QoS > VoIP Call Admission Control" on page 95.  WMM Traffic Management-Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance specification based on the IEEE 802.11e wireless Quality of Service (QoS) standard. WMM works with 802.11a, b, g, and n physical layer standards. WMM supports four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. The 802.1D priority value is contained in a two-byte QoS control field in the WMM data frame.Refer to "Profiles > QoS > WMM Traffic Management" on page 97. 94 | Dell PowerConnect W Configuration Reference Dell PowerConnect W AirWave 7.2 | Configuration Guide

The added or edited
Cluster
profile appears on
Profiles > Mesh > Cluster
.
Profiles > QoS
The following QoS profiles configure traffic management and VoIP functions.
Traffic Management
—Specifies the minimum percentage of available bandwidth to be allocated to a specific
SSID when there is congestion on the wireless network, and sets the interval between bandwidth usage
reports. Refer to
“Profiles > QoS > Traffic Management” on page 95
.
VoIP Call Admission Control
—Dell PowerConnect W’s Voice Call Admission Control limits the number of
active voice calls per AP by load-balancing or ignoring excess call requests. This profile enables active load
balancing and call admission controls, and sets limits for the numbers of simultaneous Session Initiated
Protocol (SIP), SpectraLink Voice Priority (SVP), Cisco Skinny Client Control Protocol (SCCP), Vocera or
New Office Environment (NOE) calls that can be handled by a single radio. Refer to
“Profiles > QoS > VoIP
Call Admission Control” on page 95
.
WMM Traffic Management
—Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a Wi-Fi Alliance specification based on the IEEE
802.11e wireless Quality of Service (QoS) standard. WMM works with 802.11a, b, g, and n physical layer
standards. WMM supports four access categories (ACs): voice, video, best effort, and background. The
802.1D priority value is contained in a two-byte QoS control field in the WMM data frame.Refer to
“Profiles
> QoS > WMM Traffic Management” on page 97
.
Name
Blank
Enter the name of the profile.
Other Settings
Cluster Name
aruba-mesh
Enter the mesh cluster name. The name can have a maximum of 32 characters, which is
used as the MSSID. When you create a new cluster profile, it is a member of the “Dell
PowerConnect W-mesh” cluster.
NOTE:
Each mesh cluster profile should have a unique MSSID. Configure a new MSSID
before you apply the mesh cluster profile.
To view existing mesh cluster profiles, use the command: show ap mesh-cluster-profile. A
mesh portal chooses the best cluster profile and provisions it for use. A mesh point can
have a maximum of 16 cluster profiles
RF Band
a
Use this setting to indicate the band for mesh operation for multiband radios. Select
a
or
g
.
Important
: If you create more than one mesh cluster profile for an AP or AP group, each
mesh cluster profile must use the same band
Encryption
Open System
Use this setting to configure the data encryption, which can be either open system (no
authentication or h) or WPA2-PSK-AES (WPA2 with AES encryption using a preshared key).
AirWave recommends selecting WPA2-PSK-AES and entering a passphrase (see WPA
Passphrase). Keep the passphrase in a safe place.
