Mesh Whitelist Profile

Overview

Mesh whitelist profile: A Mesh whitelist profile contains MAC addresses of neighboring APs allowed to set up Mesh links with an AP. After a Mesh whitelist profile is applied to an AP radio, only APs with MAC addresses in the whitelist can access the AP, and other APs are denied. On common Mesh networks, a Mesh whitelist must be configured for a Mesh node.

A neighboring AP with the MAC address in the whitelist can set up a wireless virtual link with the local AP only after passing security authentication.
On a Mesh network where ATs are deployed, after FWA is enabled in a Mesh profile, you do not need to configure a Mesh whitelist for a Mesh node. All ATs are allowed to access the Mesh node.
