max-link-number

Function

The max-link-number command sets the maximum number of mesh links that can be established between APs.

The undo max-link-number command restores the default maximum number of mesh links that can be established between APs.

By default, a maximum of eight mesh links can be established between APs. After you enable FWA for a mesh profile using the fwa enable command, a maximum of 32 mesh links can be established between APs by default.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When an AP sets up too many Mesh links with neighboring APs, network indicators, such as the throughput cannot meet customer needs, affecting user experience. To improve user experience, you can run the max-link-number command to set the maximum number of mesh links that can be established between APs according to actual situations.

Impact

If the number of mesh links of an AP has reached the maximum, the AP does not set up new mesh links with neighboring APs.

Example

# Set the maximum number of mesh links that can be established between APs to 3.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] mesh-profile name test
[HUAWEI-wlan-mesh-prof-test] max-link-number 3
