Syntax
Parameter Description Range Default
<profile> Name of this instance of the profile. The name must be 1-63
characters.
— “default”
allowed-vlans Specify a list of VLAN IDs that can be used by a mesh link
on APs associated with this mesh radio profile
<vlan-list> A comma-separated list of VLAN IDs. You can also specify a
range of VLAN IDs using a dash (for example, 1–4095)
a-tx rates Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11a radio.
The AP attempts to use the highest transmission rate to
establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes
through the list and uses the next highest rate.
6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, 54 Mbps
6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36,
48, 54 Mbps
children Indicates the maximum number of children a mesh node
can accept.
1-64 64
clone Name of an existing mesh radio profile from which
parameter values are copied.
——
g-tx rates Indicates the transmit rates for the 802.11b/g radio.
The AP attempts to use the highest transmission rate to
establish a mesh link. If a rate is unavailable, the AP goes
through the list and uses the next highest rate.
1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 11, 12,
18, 24, 36, 48, 54

Mbps
heartbeat-
threshold
Indicates the maximum number of heartbeat messages that
can be lost between neighboring mesh nodes.
1-255 10
hop-count Indicates the maximum hop count from the mesh portal. 1-32 8
link-threshold Indicates the minimal RSSI value. If the RSSI value is below
this threshold, the link may be considered a sub-threshold
link. A sub-threshold link is a link whose average RSSI
value falls below the configured threshold.
If this occurs, the mesh node may try to find a better link on
the same channel and cluster (only neighbors on the same
channel are considered).
The supported threshold is hardware dependent, with a
practical range of 10-90.

mesh-ht-ssid-
profile
High-throughput SSID Profile for the mesh feature. default
max-retries Maximum number of times a mesh node can re-send a
packet.
0-15 4 times
mesh-mcast-opt Enables or disables scanning of all active stations currently
associated to a mesh point to select the lowest
transmission rate based on the slowest connected mesh
child.
When enabled, this setting dynamically adjusts the
multicast rate to that of the slowest connected mesh child.
Multicast frames are not sent if there are no mesh children.
Dell recommends using the default value.
enabled
metric-
algorithm
Specifies the algorithm used by a mesh node to select its
parent.
Dell recommends using the default value distributed-tree-
rssi.
— distributed-
tree-
rssi
best-link-
rssi
Selects the parent with the strongest RSSI, regardless of
the number of children a potential parent has.
