Description

Mesh cluster profiles are specific to mesh nodes (APs configured for mesh) and provide the framework of the mesh network. You must define and configure the mesh cluster profile before configuring an AP to operate as a mesh node.

You can configure multiple mesh cluster profiles to be used within a mesh cluster. You must configure different priority levels for each mesh cluster profile. See ap-group or ap-name for more information about priorities.

Cluster profiles, including the default profile, are not applied until you provision your APs for mesh.

Parameter	Description
ap mesh-cluster-profile <profile-name>	Configures a mesh cluster profile. Give a name to the mesh cluster profile. The name must be 1–63 characters long.
clone <source>	Copies parameter values from an existing mesh cluster profile.
cluster <cluster>	Indicates the mesh cluster name. The name can have a maximum of 32 characters and is used as the MSSID for the mesh cluster. When you first create a new mesh cluster profile, the profile uses the default cluster name “Aruba-mesh”. Use the `cluster` parameter to define a new, unique MSSID before you assign APs or AP groups to the mesh cluster profile. If you want a mesh cluster to use WPA2-PSK-AES encryption, do not use spaces in the mesh cluster name, as this may cause errors in mesh points associated with that mesh cluster.
no	Negates any configured parameter.
opmode	Configures one of the following data encryption types: opensystem: No encryption. wpa2-psk-aes: WPA2 with AES encryption using a pre-shared key. Best practices are to select wpa2-psk-aes and use the `wpa-passphrase` parameter to select a passphrase. Keep the passphrase in a safe place. Range: opensystem, wpa2-psk-aes Default: opensystem
rf-band	Configures the RF band in which multiband mesh nodes must operate: a: 802.11a g: 802.11g all: all bands. Mesh feature will be enabled on both a and g bands. Best practices are to use 802.11a radios for mesh deployments. Default: a
rf-split5G-band-range	This command configures the 5 GHz radio used for the mesh link. This parameter takes effect only when split 5 GHz or dual 5 GHz radio is enabled on the AP. Reboot the AP must for the configuration to take effect.
first	Configures the functioning 5 GHz radio as the mesh link.
full	Configures both the sub bands of the 5 GHz radio as the mesh link. The radio assignment however depends on factors such as hopcount to the mesh portal, availability of neighboring mesh APs, and preferred uplink radio setting of the mesh profile. This is the default setting.
lower	Configures the lower 5 GHz radio as the mesh link.
upper	Configures the upper 5 GHz radio as the mesh link.
wpa-hexkey <wpa-hexkey>	Configures a WPA PSK.
wpa-passphrase <wpa-passphrase>	Sets the WPA password that generates the PSK.

Example

The following command configures a mesh cluster profile named cluster1, for the mesh cluster headquarters:

(host) [mynode] (config) #ap mesh-cluster-profile cluster1

(host) [mynode] (Mesh Cluster profile "cluster1")cluster headquarters
