Parameter Description Range Default
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.
rts-threshold
Defines the packet size sent by mesh nodes. Mesh
nodes transmitting frames larger than this threshold
must issue request to send (RTS) and wait for other
mesh nodes to respond with clear to send (CTS) to
begin transmission. This helps prevent mid-air
collisions.

Usage Guidelines
Mesh radio profiles are specific to mesh nodes (APs configured for mesh) and determine the radio frequency/channel
used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the path to the mesh portal. You can configure multiple radio
profiles; however, you select and deploy only one radio profile per mesh cluster.
Radio profiles, including the “default” profile, are not active until you provision your APs for mesh. If you modify a
currently provisioned and running radio profile, your changes take place immediately. You do not reboot the
controller or the AP.
Example
The following command creates a mesh radio profile named “radio2” and associates a mesh high-throughput profile
named meshHT1:
(host) (config) #ap mesh-radio-profile radio2
mesh-ht-ssid-profile meshHT1
Related Commands
To view a complete list of mesh radio profiles and their status, use the following command:

To view the settings of a specific mesh radio profile, use the following command:
