Mesh Deployment Modes
Mesh access points support multiple deployment modes, including the following:
•
•
•
•
Wireless Mesh Network
In a Cisco wireless outdoor mesh network, multiple mesh access points comprise a network that provides
secure, scalable outdoor wireless LAN.

shows an example of a simple mesh network
deployment composed of mesh access point (MAPs and RAPs), controllers, and Cisco WCS.
The three RAPs are connected to the wired network at each location and are located on the building roof.
All the downstream access points operate as MAPs and communicate using wireless links (not shown).

Both MAPs and RAPs can provide WLAN client access; however, the location of RAPs are often not
suitable for providing client access. All the three access points in

Some of the buildings have onsite controllers to terminate CAPWAP sessions from the mesh access
points but it is not a mandatory requirement because CAPWAP sessions can be back hauled to a
controller over a wide-area network (WAN) (see
