Link Security
The Mesh link is encrypted using Advance Encryption Standard (AES).
Note:
The keys for AES are configured prior to deploying the Repeater or Mesh APs.
Deploying the Mesh System
Before you start configuring the Mesh Wireless APs, you must ensure the following:
• The Wireless APs that are part of the wired WLAN are connected to the wired network.
• The wired Wireless APs that will serve as the Mesh Portal of the proposed Mesh topology are
operating normally.
• The WLAN is operating normally.
