Working with a Mesh Network
This chapter describes a Wireless Distribution System (Mesh), including:
About Mesh
Mesh networks enable you to expand the wireless network by interconnecting the Wireless APs
through wireless links in addition to the traditional method of interconnecting Wireless APs via a
wired network. In a Mesh deployment, each node not only captures and disseminates its own
data, but it also serves as a relay for other nodes, that is, it collaborates to propagate the data in the
network.
A Mesh deployment is ideally suited for locations where installing Ethernet cabling is too
expensive, or physically impossible.
The Mesh network can be deployed in three configurations:
• Simple Mesh Configuration
• Wireless Repeater Configuration
• Wireless Bridge Configuration
Note:
Mesh is supported on all W786C/W788C access points.
