*(BETA)* Added support for Wireless Mesh for Wi-Fi 6 AP models (AP300, 400, 500
i/e/h models). Mesh connections can be established over APs
Access points can belong to one Meshpoint at a time and only one radio of the AP
can be used for meshpoint (backhaul) connection.
Root-APs and Node APs must be statically configured to the same manually assigned
non-DFS channel. Off-Channel-Scanning (OCS) not supported for Mesh operations.
MeshPoints managed by Extreme Campus Controller (Campus) cannot extend

This release is defined as a BETA offering as there are a few enhancements in the
works. Enhancements will be delivered in subsequent releases.
XCC-8
Extended adoption for monitoring and basic management for X620-16t-Base switch
models
XCC-320
Opportunistic Wireless Encryption (OWE) (aka Enhanced Open) is a Wi-Fi standard
which ensures that the communication between each pair of endpoints is protected
from other endpoints, when connecting to an "OPEN" network. Unlike conventional
Open Wi-Fi, it provides "Individualized Data Protection" such that data traffic between
a client and access point is "individualized".
Supported for Wi-Fi 6 AP (AP300/400/500 series) models. Requires client
compatibility with feature.
OWE companion to open WLAN is not supported in 5.16.02. Support for OWE
companion to open WLAN will be added in the next release.
XCC-22
Provide option for enhancing security of connection between AP and Extreme
Campus Controller by requiring AP to provide Extreme-signed certificate. When
enabled, APs and appliances will use their Manufacturer (Extreme) Installed
Certificate (MIC) as material for cross-authentication. MIC validation is disabled by
default but can be enabled at the Profile level or overwritten on a per access point
basis.
Manufacturing Installed Certificates are pre-installed on all AP3900, SA201,
AP300/400/500 i/e/h series access points. Manufacture Installed Certificates (MIC)
are also pre-installed on the physical appliances (E1120, E2120, E3120) and are
installed as part of the activation process for virtual appliances (VE6120/H, VE6125).
XCC-16
Improved options for enhanced security of Fabric Attach connection to APs by
providing support for configurable authentication key.
XCC-17
Improved usability of channel plan selection in RF Management by providing display
of member channel IDs as a hover tip when selecting channel plan in RF
management policy.
Different channel plans contain different channels (All channels, Non-DFS channels,
3-channel plan, etc). Hover tip now displays the channel numbers included for each
selection.
XCC-219
Enabled support for wired client port on AP3965. Client port (GE2) can be used to
provide link to wired network for workgroup bridging extension through Meshpoint.
