apconnect
apconnect {ap-name <name>|bssid <bssid>|ip-addr <ipaddr>} parent-bssid <bssid>
Description
This command instructs a mesh point to disconnect from its current parent and connect to a new parent.
Syntax
Parameter Description
ap-name <name>
Specify the name of the mesh point to be connected to a new parent.
bssid <bssid>
Specific the BSSID of the mesh point to be connected to a new parent.
ip-addr <ipaddr>
Specific the IP address of the mesh point to be connected to a new parent.
parent-bssid <bssid>

Usage Guidelines
To maintain a mesh topology created using the apconnect command, Dell suggests setting the mesh
reselection-mode to reselect-never, otherwise the normal mesh reselection mechanisms could break up the
selected topology.
Example
The following command connects the mesh point “meshpoint1” to a new parent with the specified BSSID.
(host) (config) #apconnect ap-name meshpoint1 parent-bssid 00:12:6d:03:1c:f1
