Easy Mesh Scenario Description

Terminology:

  • Mesh AP – an AP that has a wired connection to the network and which provides wireless access to end users as well to Node APs.
  • Node AP – an AP that is connected wirelessly to another node AP or to a Mesh AP and which provides wireless access to end users and can serve as a backhaul connection to other Node APs.
  • Backhaul – a wireless connection between APs.
  • Access – a wireless connection to end users.This feature is supported by the External NFT controller only. Any NFT AP (including LigoDLB with NFT firmware) can be used in this type of network. A single-radio AP creates a backhaul and an access at the same time. A dual-radio AP uses 5GHz for both backhaul and access, while a 2.4GHz radio is for access only.

The main idea is to extend Wi-Fi coverage without using wires and to do that in an automated way without manual configuration.

The network allows to have several mesh APs. It is recommended to connect no more than 3 mesh nodes into a single chain.

The NFT controller has a new network type called Easy Mesh. When the device is assigned to that network, it starts to act as an auto-repeater: if the AP has a wired connection, it will create two VAPs for access and backhaul; however, if the device has no wired connection, it will create an additional virtual station interface and will look for an access point with the “Backhaul” SSID. Every device should be activated this way from the controller to work under an Easy Mesh scenario. The NFT controller creates two open SSIDs by default, but the name and security settings can be changed.UAM is not allowed.

The main steps for creating an Easy Mesh network:

1. Create a new Easy Mesh network:

2. Change the SSID name (if necessary) and turn on encryption (highly recommend).
3. Register all devices onto the Easy Mesh network. Wait several minutes until all of the devices assume the AP type.

4. Leave at least one AP with a LAN connection. The rest of the APs can be placed in locations that will not have a LAN (Ethernet) connection. After several minutes, the APs without a LAN connection will become repeaters and will appear as Nodes in the controller.

5. The network should now be ready for use.
Moreover, users can see how Node APs are connected to the Mesh AP in the “Wireless clients” tab:

In the above example, two Node APs are connected on AP_2, while one Node AP is connected on AP_4.

Step 1. Select the LigoDLB managed network to which the devices will be added. Create the first network and assign devices are here: URL

Step 2. Navigate to System and select the Country code that will be used on the LigoDLB devices:

Step 3. Navigate to Wireless and click Edit list… next to the Available channels:

Step 4. Select the width of the operating radio channel. The LigoDLB supports 5, 10, 20 and 40MHz channel widths.

Hide indoor channels – use the slider to hide or display indoor channels.

Non-standard channels – select to enable non-standard channels. Non-standard channels have 5MHz channel steps, therefore some center frequencies will not be valid with 802.11 specifications. This feature may interfere with other networks and may not support all a/n standard clients or Access Points.

Channel table – select the channel(s) over which the Access Point will operate. If more than one channel is selected, then the autochannel feature will be enabled. Automatic channel selection allows the AP to select a channel that is not used by any other wireless device or, if there are no free channels available, to select a channel that is the least occupied. The table displays detailed information about each channel: TX limit, EIRP limit and DFS or ATPC.

Step 5. Select the Protocol (iPoll 3 or Auto WDS). Set the basic wireless parameters such as SSID and Security:

Step 6. Navigate to Network to specify the management VLAN ID, if it is used in the network. The IP method cannot be changed—only Dynamic is allowed.

When you specify a new management VLAN, your HTTP connection to the device is lost. For this reason, you should have a connection between your management station and a port in the new management VLAN or connect to the new management VLAN through a multi-VLAN router.

Step 7. Navigate to Services to enable the SNMP service:

NOTE: the first device that is registered to the network is automatically set to operate as an access point (need to plug the access point first). All further devices will automatically operate as stations.

Step 8. Select the device to be registered onto the network and click Register:

Step 9. Select the network to which the device will be registered and click Register:

NOTE: only 1 Access Point is allowed per network. Mixed multi-point devices are not supported in a single network.

Step 10. Once the first device registration process is complete, the device should be listed under the selected network statistics section as an Access Point:

Step 11. The Devices section has to show the device as an Access Point:

NOTE: Unplug the Access Point LAN cable and connect it to the first station that will be added to controller.

Step 12. Select the second device to be registered onto the network and click Register:

Step 13. Select the network to which the devices will be registered and click Register:

NOTE: All other registered devices will be automatically set to operate as stations.

Step 14. Once the second device registration process is complete, the device should be listed under the selected network statistics section as a Station and automatically connected to Access Point:

Step 15. All other devices in the Devices section have to indicate the Station operating mode:

NOTE: When a station successfully connects to an AP, unplug the network cable from the Station and plug it back to the Access Point

Before registering an existing LigoDLB setup to the LigoWave controller, check if all applied configuration parameters are available on it. Currently, configuration parameters are limited to basic settings only.

Limitations:

  • The iPoll 2 protocol is not supported.
  • Only the Dynamic IP method is supported.
  • Bridge mode only.
  • Not all services and parameters are currently available.

Follow these steps to add an existing LigoDLB network to the LigoWave Cloud Controller:

Step 1. Configure the network on the Controller with the same network, wireless and system settings as they are set on the LigoDLB devices.
Step 2. First add the Access Point to the network as the first added device and the Controller will be automatically set it as the Access Point.
Step 3. Wait until it is configured and a green indicator appears on the Controller. Check if the stations have connected back to Access Point.
Step 4. Register the stations to the Controller one by one. The operating mode on the devices will automatically be set to Station by the Controller.
