mesh point provides traditional WLAN services (such as client connectivity, intrusion detection system (IDS) capabilities, user role association, and Quality of Service (QoS) for LAN-to-mesh communication) to clients and performs mesh backhaul/network connectivity. A mesh radio can be configured to carry mesh-backhaul traffic only. Mesh points use one of their wireless interfaces to carry traffic and reach the controller. NOTE: Any provisioned IAP that has an ethernet link is a mesh portal, and the IAP without an ethernet link is a mesh point. Instant Mesh Setup This section provides instructions on how to create a simple mesh network on Instant. To setup a mesh network, perform the following steps: 1. Wire all IAPs to a DHCP server so the IAPs get their IP addresses in the same subnet. 2. An open SSID, 'instant' will be listed. Connect a laptop to the default, open 'instant' SSID.
