Zero Touch Mesh
Zero Touch Mesh allows customers to skip
the mesh configuration priming process, enabling Mesh APs that are already installed
in their
permanent locations to auto-discover, auto-provision, and auto-form a Mesh network
without
priming.
In most installations, the APs that are destined to become Mesh APs must first be primed prior to deployment. First, they are manually connected to the controller (Master AP) by way of Ethernet to receive the provisioning parameters (Mesh SSID and PSK passphrase), and then unplugged from Ethernet and installed at their desired location.
Once installed, Mesh APs perform network discovery and associate to another Mesh AP (RAP, MAP or eMAP) that is beaconing the provisioned Mesh SSID.
This manual procedure can be skipped by using Zero Touch Mesh.
