Is it mandatory to configure a bridge group name for a mesh network?
A. A bridge group name (BGN) can be used to logically group the APs in the mesh. Although by default, the APs come with a null value BGN to allow association, we recommend that you set a BGN. You can make this configuration change through the CLI or GUI with this command: config ap bridgegroupname set Bridge Group Name Cisco AP Note: BGNs can be a maximum of ten characters. If you enter more than 10 characters into the BGN field on the controller GUI mesh access point configuration page, it generates an error message. An error also appears when you configure this parameter through the config ap bridgegroupname set groupname Cisco_MAP CLI command or WCS (CSCsk64812). When you configure BGN on a live network, ensure that you configure from the farthest MAP and work your way back to the RAP. This is very important because you can strand a child MAP that cannot associate with a parent, which can have an updated BGN. Use different BGNs to logically group different parts of your network.
