If a DHCP server internal to one of the MPs is enabled to
configure the IP addresses of network NMPs, all NMPs will
have the correct default gateway address and IPv6 prefix to
automatically configure themselves without further manual
configuration.
To create a FastPath Mesh network and attach it to a
conventional hierarchical network, as shown in Figure 1.2, you
must, at minimum:
follow the steps to configure an isolated FastPath Mesh
network outlined in the preceding Section 1.4.1.1.
on each Mesh Point that will serve as an MBG:
configure the hierarchical network router as the MBG’s
default gateway: on
Configure -> Administration ->
Network Configuration.
be sure the interface that will connect to the hierarchical
network is configured as an FP Mesh Access interface.
FastPath Mesh Mode is specified for wired interfaces: on
Configure -> Ethernet Settings -> EDIT. Wireless
interfaces are automatically (and transparently)
configured as Access interfaces when
Wireless Bridge
is
Disabled: on Configure -> Radio Settings -> ADD BSS.
on each router in the hierarchical network that will connect
to an MBG, configure route(s) to the FP Mesh subnet.
