Has anyone successfully implemented HWMP mesh using WDS dynamic-mesh mode with more than 4 nodes?
Seems like it suffers from exactly the same issues as just bridging WDS with RSTP.
We really want to create layer 2 mesh that scales well using MT, but without using ad-hoc mode (like all other mesh solutions) it seems impossible.
See my earlier post for more details on what we have tested.
Re: HWMP Mesh - Is it possible
One Last Try...I have posted this several times with no response from anyone. I have sent in to support with no response. So from the deafening silence it seems that on one has an answer...
We are trying to set up mobile mesh networks using HWMP and are not having good success. The network needs to be very dynamic and capable of choosing paths, recalculating paths in the event of obstruction, and deal with potentially many paths from one point to the other.
We would like to be able to get to 10-12 nodes in a mesh.
Our platform is the Alix 3d2 board which is AMD LX800 with 256MB ram. We are using MT 3.19. We have also tried with RB333 boards with same results.lic
We have tried with a variety of radio modules including SR5, SR2, EMP-8602, CM9 all with same results. So we are pretty convinced that our issues in software configuration.
We first started with just a basic WDS bridged mesh network with RSTP. We would set the wireless interface to run with WDS dynamic. This would scale up to 3 or 4 nodes, but when we added a 5th node, the network would pretty much stop working. We determined that looping and the lack of a FDB kept frames from transiting properly.
So we next tried using MME in a dual radio configuration. This seems to run into the same limitation of relying on WDS scalability for the mesh backhaul. Also, it introduces a level of complexity for our customers which is not desirable.
So we moved on to HWMP, which, as we understand it, should scale much better than just plain WDS with RSTP. However we are seeing similar types of scaling issues.
The attached exported configuration should give you an idea of what all of our settings are on the mesh portal node. For non-portal nodes, we simply turn off the mesh portal value.
First we set up 4 nodes, all with great SNR, low noise floor etc. For about 5 minutes we can ping any one for the nodes from the portal node without problem. After 5 minutes or so, we start seeing pings fail and FDB entries disappearing. ARP tables get all messed up on client connected PC.
All nodes are seen in wireless scan and we have tx powers adjusted to low so that we have low noise floor.
We thought the problem might be with ANI, as we saw CPU utilization reach 90% so we disabled it. CPU utilization dropped back to below 10%. Should we be using ANI at all?
But even after disabling ANI, we still cannot get even 4 nodes to work with HWMP, let alone 6 or more.
Do you have suggestions on a configuration which will work? Do you have an example configuration for a HWMP mesh that will work with 6 or more nodes?
If we can’t get this resolved, our customer is going to go over to firetide.

Re: HWMP Mesh - Is it possible
Firetides Use Adhoc and 5ghz range, maybe if you posted a layout it would help, just having the router config doesn't do much when your talking about a problem such as this.
Firetides are pretty neat, but they are usually not setup fully meshed as that creates to much traffic, I know this as I have seen 5 diff firetide installs at malls with 20 units setup in mesh mode at one time. It's not a simple as plug n play.
Layout and hardware specs make it much easier, otherwise we don't know if your doing this mountain top to mount top or apartment to apartment.
