mesh point provides traditional WLAN services (such as client connectivity, intrusion detection system (IDS)

capabilities, user role association, and Quality of Service (QoS) for LAN-to-mesh communication) to clients and

performs mesh backhaul/network connectivity. A mesh radio can be configured to carry mesh-backhaul traffic

only. Mesh points use one of their wireless interfaces to carry traffic and reach the controller.

Instant Mesh Setup

This section provides instructions on how to create a simple mesh network on Instant. To setup a mesh network,

perform the following steps:

1. Wire all IAPs to a DHCP server so the IAPs get their IP addresses in the same subnet.

2. An open SSID, ‘instant’ will be listed. Connect a laptop to the default, open ‘instant’ SSID.

Figure 34 Open Instant SSID

3. Type http://instant.dell-pcw.com/ in the browser.

4. Click I understand the risks and Add exception to ignore the certificate warnings that the client does not

recognize the certificate authority.

5. In the login screen as shown in Figure 36, enter the following credentials:

 Username - admin

 Password - admin

NOTE: Any provisioned IAP that has an ethernet link is a mesh portal, and the IAP without an ethernet link is a mesh point.
