Concept Guide

Parameter Description Range Default
Best practices are to use the default
value.
mesh-survivability
Allow mesh points and portals to become
active even if the controller cannot be
reached by bridging LAN traffic. This is a
beta feature that is disabled by default; it
should not be enabled unless you are
instructed to do so by Dell technical
suppport.
— distributed-
tree-
rssi
metric-
algorithm
Specifies the algorithm used by a mesh
node to select its parent.
Best practices are to use 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.
— —
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.
