Enabling Wireless LANs (WLANs)

1. Select Network Configuration -> Wireless -> Radio Configuration from the Brocade Mobility
7131N-FGR Access Point menu tree.
Review the Radio Function to assess if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio or
has been dedicated as a WIPS sensor.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct
radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio Status
and MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these
values update in real-time.
NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and client bridge
configuration) at a high level. For detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh
configuration, see
“Configuring mesh networking support” on page 523. To review mesh
network deployment scenarios, see “Mesh network deployment - quick setup” on page 532.
2. Set the Maximum MUs between 0 - 127.
NOTE
The maximum number of MUs that can associate to a Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access
Point is 127. Therefore, the possible number of MUs that can associate to each radio must be
negotiated between 0 and 127. The AP does not support MU radio associations if its Maximum
MUs value is set to 0. Alternatively, if you set the value to 127 for one radio, you risk shutting
out MU associations for the other radio, as the AP does not validate the logic of a user’s MU
association distribution.
3. Select the Base Bridge checkbox to allow the radio to accept client bridge connections from
other access points in client bridge mode. The base bridge is the acceptor of mesh network
data from those client bridges within the mesh network and never the initiator.
