I have a few questions about best practices for mesh network deployment:
I'm using WLC 3504 and 1560 APs.
- is it better 8.5 release or 8.8?
- on mesh bridge access-points:
-- what about channel width of backhaul link? 20-40 or 80MHz on RAP access-points?
-- with ethernet bridging enabled, which is the difference between vlan support on mesh tab and vlan support on gigabit ethernet port? which native vlan do I have to use on both tabs? Which vlan do i need to configure on rap's switch port? and which vlan on map's switch port? (i need to connect a switch on maps in order to carry wired vlan's over mesh network.
- on general mesh:
-- extended backhaul client access yes/no? what is this function for?
-- mesh backhaul RRM yes/no?
Thank you very much.
Best
