Usage Guidelines

If a Mesh node cannot receive keepalive packets from a neighboring node for a period of time greater than or equal to the aging time of a Mesh link, the Mesh node considers the Mesh link disconnected and will reselect a link.

In a fast changing radio environment, if the aging time of a Mesh link is set to a small value, Mesh links may be frequently disconnected or reselected, causing network flapping. If the aging time of a Mesh link is set to a large value, a Mesh node cannot reselect Mesh links in a timely manner, causing service interruption. Therefore, you need to configure a proper aging time for Mesh links based on actual situations.

Example

# Set the aging time of a Mesh link to 10s.
