• Link Status – Up/down.
• Enable – Indicate whether the AP interface is enabled or disabled.
• Operate – Can be applied to Backhaul1 or Connector1 interface for wireless mesh/bridge
configuring.
AP Network
Navigate: AP-UI -> Network -> AP Networks.
Figure 9-4 AP Network
• Network Name – Name of the network. There are 2 types of network on AP: VLAN networks
mapping to WLAN (SSID); WAN networking mapping to AP uplink port.
• VLAN – VLAN ID mapping to specific WLAN (SSID).
• Protocol – IP address allocation for the network interface. IP address of a network interface is
usually set as the gateway of the devices connecting the network.
o DHCP - Indicates the interface IP address of the network is obtained from an outside DHCP
server.
o Static – Indicates the interface IP address of the network is manually set.
• Operate – Edit the AP network.
• IP Address – Interface IP address of the network.
• Netmask - Netmask of the network.
• DNS – DNS server for the network.
• Default Route – Indicate whether the interface of the network is default route of the AP. By
default, WAN interface in the default route of the AP.
Configure Mesh/Bridge through AP UI
The Alcatel-Lucent mesh solution is an effective way to expand network coverage for outdoor and indoor
enterprise environments without any wires. Using mesh, you can bridge multiple Ethernets LANs or you can
extend your wireless coverage (Wireless backhauling). As traffic traverses across mesh APs, the mesh
network automatically reconfigures around broken or blocked paths. This self-healing feature provides
increased reliability and redundancy: the network continues to operate if an AP stops functioning or a
connection fails.
To expand your wireless coverage without bridging Ethernet LAN segments, you can use Mesh services
configured as wireless backhaul. In this deployment scenario, the AP provides network access for wireless
