Enterprise Mesh (Indoor Access Point Platforms)
A wireless mesh network can be created using the Cisco 1131AG and 1242AG Access Point
indoor platforms.
Full Mesh Platform Interoperability (Dual-Band Access Points)
A mesh network can be created between any access point capable of mesh functionality,
regardless of whether the access point is an outdoor or indoor mesh access point, or whether the
access point is based on Cisco IOS Software or VxWorks. Moreover, any mesh access point can
be a parent to any type mesh access point. This applies to the following access points: 1510,
1520, 1131, and 1242. Note that the Cisco Aironet 1505 access point is only interoperable with
1505 access points.
Support for Cisco Wireless Services Module on the Cisco 7600 Series Router
Customers with Cisco 7600 Series Routers can use the Cisco Wireless Services Module Controller
to manage their mesh networks.
Table 2 summarizes the features available for mesh platforms with Release 4.1.191.24M.

Containment of Bridged Multicast Traffic—Multicast
traffic (for example, video camera broadcasts) from a mesh
access point (MAP) Ethernet port is contained on a root
access point (RAP) Ethernet network and no forwarding
occurs (in multicast mode). This helps ensure that: (1) Non-
LWAPP multicasts received by the RAP are not transmitted
back to the MAP Ethernet networks within the mesh
network (their point of origin). (2) MAP-to-MAP multicasts
do not occur because they are filtered out.
