mesh STA."
DEFVAL { 31 }
::= { dot11MeshSTAConfigEntry 15 }

mesh_auto_open_plinks

Controls whether this mesh STA should automatically attempt to establish a peer
link when another mesh STA is detected in direct range.  The default value is
true (1).

This attribute specifies whether or not the mesh STA activates mesh gate
announcements."

STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This is a control variable.
It is written by an external management entity.
Changes take effect as soon as practical in the implementation.
This attribute specifies the number of Action frames containing a PREQ
that an originator mesh STA can send to a particular path target for a
specific path discovery."

ment."

"This is a control variable.
It is written by an external management entity.
Changes take effect as soon as practical in the implementation.

that it takes for an HWMP element to propagate across the mesh BSS."
DEFVAL { 500 }
::= { dot11MeshHWMPConfigEntry 3}

mesh_hwmp_rootmode

dot11MeshHWMProotMode OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
