You configure the Mesh Portal AP to beacon the mesh services SSID. To 
do this, create a service profile and enable mesh services using the 
following commands:

set service-profile mesh-service-profile ssid-name mesh-ssid
set service-profile mesh-service-profile mesh mode {enable | 
disable}

The service profile can then be mapped to a radio profile that manages a 
radio on the Mesh Portal MAP. Note that the radio profile to which the 
service profile is mapped cannot be configured to auto-tune power or 
channel settings.

The secure connection between the Mesh AP and the Mesh Portal AP is 

established in a two-step process: creation of an encrypted 
point-to-point link between the Mesh AP, and the Mesh Portal AP, 
then authentication of the Mesh

 AP.

When the Mesh AP is booted, it searches for a beacon containing the 
configured mesh SSID. Once it locates a Mesh Portal AP with the mesh 
SSID, it associates with the Mesh Portal AP as a client device. The Mesh 
AP can then be authenticated by the WX  switch.

To configure the Mesh AP to be authenticated, use the following 
commands:

set service-profile mesh-service-profile rsn-ie enable
set service-profile mesh-service-profile auth-psk enable
set service-profile mesh-service-profile cipher-ccmp enable
set service-profile mesh-service-profile cipher-tkip disable
set service-profile mesh-service-profile {psk-phrase 
pass-phrase | psk-raw raw-pass}
set mac-user mesh-ap-mac-addr attr vlan-name default
set authentication mac ssid mesh-ssid * local

The pass-phrase or raw-pass is the same one configured on the Mesh AP. 
In 

addition, the Mesh AP must have its serial number and fingerprint 

configured o

n the WX  switch.
