distributed-
tree-rssi
Selects the parent based on link-RSSI and node cost based
on the number of children.
This option evenly distributes the mesh points over high
quality uplinks. Low quality uplinks are selected as a last
resort.

mpv This parameter is experimental and reserved for future use. 0-4094 0 (disabled)
no Negates any configured parameter. — —
reselection-mode Specifies the method used to find a better mesh link.
Best practices are to use the default value startup-
subthreshold.
(see below) startup-sub
threshold
reselect-anytime Mesh points using the reselect-anytime reselection mode
perform a single topology readjustment scan within 9
minutes of startup and 4 minutes after a link is formed. If no
better parent is found, the mesh point returns to its original
parent. This initial scan evaluates more distant mesh points
before closer mesh points, and incurs a dropout of 5-8
seconds for each mesh point.
After the initial startup scan is completed, connected mesh
nodes evaluate mesh links every 30 seconds. If a mesh
node finds a better uplink, the mesh node connects to the
new parent to create an improved path to the mesh portal.
——
reselect-never Connected mesh nodes do not evaluate other mesh links to
create an improved path to the mesh portal.
——
startup-
subthreshold
Mesh points using the startup-subthreshold reselection
mode perform a single topology readjustment scan within 9
minutes of startup and 4 minutes after a link is formed. If no
better parent is found, the mesh point returns to its original
parent. This initial startup scan evaluates more distant
mesh points before closer mesh points, and incurs a
dropout of 5-8 seconds for each mesh point. After that time,
each mesh node evaluates alternative links if the existing
uplink falls below the configured threshold level (the link
becomes a sub-threshold link). Best practices are to use
the default startup-subthreshold value.
NOTE: Starting with ArubaOS 3.4.1, if a mesh point using the
startup-subthreshold mode reselects a more distant parent
because its original, closer parent falls below the
acceptable threshold, then as long as that mesh point is
connected to that more distant parent, it will seek to
reselect a parent at the earlier distance (or less) with good
link quality. For example, if a mesh point disconnects from a
mesh parent 2 hops away and subsequently reconnects to
a mesh parent 3 hops away, then the mesh point will
continue to seek a connection to a mesh parent with both
an acceptable link quality and a distance of two hops or
less, even if the more distant parent also has an acceptable
link quality.
