• Leave the rpl route poisoning configuration of the slave WPAN unchanged.
• If you want a Cisco Resilient Mesh node to dynamically switch a connection or PAN between different WPAN interfaces (for
example, a DUAL-PHY node dynamically switching between RF and PLC), the master and slave WPAN must have same SSID.
This is an optional configuration.
This requirement is so the mesh-side node can see two PHYs as being from the same network (SSID) and can dynamically select
either interface. The SSIDs can be different on the WPAN and CGR side.
Configure master-slave WPANs in the following order; otherwise, the master-slave configuration may not work properly.
Note
Procedure
Step 1 Expire all the mesh-security keys on master and slave WPAN slots.
Step 2 Configure both WPANs, slave and master, as if they are two independent WPANs.
Step 3 Ensure that you do not enable rpl route-poisoning on any WPANs.
Step 4 Determine master and slave nodes, and then configure the following on the slave-slot:
Example:
(config)# interface wpan <slave-slot>/1
(config-if)# slave-mode <master-slot>
Step 5 If network mesh security mode is enabled, configure the mesh-security key(s) on the master slot. The same mesh-key on
the slave WPAN module are enabled internally. On the CGR side, the mesh-security key is associated only with the
master slot.
Step 6 Reload only the slave module.
What to do next
To retain the Dual-PHY master-slave relationship, a CGR requires a sequential reload of first slave and then master WPANs in the
following cases, even when the configuration remains unchanged:
• After reload of master slot WPAN
• After reload of slave slot WPAN
• After reload of the CGR
• After an image upgrade of the CGR and subsequent mandatory reload
Master-Slave WPAN Configuration Example
Dual-PHY can have master and slave for PLC and RF WPAN modules. The IPv6 prefix of the master is used for IPv6 addressing of
the nodes.
