Abstract

In auto-configuration of dense mesh networks an Information Handling System (IHS) runs an advertisement service when the IHS is powered on and transmits a wireless local area network beacon information element that includes wireless node IHS specific information. The IHS dynamically scales transmit power of advertisement packets, from a low power. In response to the IHS finding a cluster host, the IHS accepts configuration of the IHS with an identification for a cluster of the cluster host and a frequency channel within the cluster. In response to the IHS not finding a cluster host, the IHS identifies as a new (cluster) host IHS and defines an identification for the new cluster. The cluster identification may be a Basic Secure Set (BSS) color field of the information element. Defining the identification for a cluster may use a distributed cluster policy, or may use a centralized managed cluster policy.
