Configuring Mesh Topology Detection

The Mesh Topology Detection allows you to set the number of mesh hops and mesh downlinks after which RUCKUS Unleashed will trigger a warning message.

For example, if you enable both options with a threshold value of 3 for each (default), RUCKUS Unleashed will trigger a warning event message when either of the following events occurs:

  • A Mesh AP with 4 or more hops from a Root AP is detected.
  • A Root AP with 4 or more downlink Mesh APs connected to it is detected.

Complete the following steps to configure Mesh Topology Detection.

  1. UI path for Unleashed
    From the main menu, select System Settings > Wireless > Mesh Settings.
  2. Select the Mesh Topology Detection tab.
  3. Select the Enable mesh hop count detection with a threshold of checkbox, and enter the number of hops.
  4. Select the Enable mesh downlinks detection with a threshold of checkbox, and enter the number of downlinks.
  5. Click Apply.
