Trying to Utilize Wireless Point-to-Multipoint

[jumbojake]

I'm getting the following: "Unidirectional link (outbound fault)" on an uplink port for a wireless point to multipoint setup. It serves as the uplink to 2 other 8 Port MS devices downstream. UDLD is set to alert only so the port isn't being disabled, I was just curious if anyone has worked with a setup like this before and if they had any config tips they could offer.

There are several key terms and guidelines that should be understood to ensure successful deployment of a Meraki mesh network. Wireless Mesh Networking is good a reference outlining the main components, algorithm and the monitoring tools available. (copied word-for-word from the Mesh Deployment Guide)

I'll clarify a bit more we're using this PTMP hardware - we're not utilizing Meraki's mesh capabilities in this instance.

I have already submitted a ticket to the manufacturer regarding this issue. I am posting this to see if anyone in the Meraki Community has encountered a similar problem in the past. This is the second forum I have received a response from you specifically that I perceive as condescending and overall unhelpful. I will not be using this platform again. Thank you.

Sharing the manufacturer's support page wasn't intended to be condescending or unhelpful.  I was legitimately hoping it would be helpful.  Your original post didn't indicate it to be non-meraki hardware.  My initial response to your post was copied word-for-word from the Mesh Deployment Guide.

Wishing you the best always, cheers.

And stay tuned, others might provide responses after realizing there is a non-meraki issue and you have articulated the vendor in which is experiencing problems. 😊

@jumbojake this is not a forum, it is a community built on mutual respect for all the other unpaid members.  If you felt @RWelch was not being helpful, simply ignore his posts and as he mentioned and wait for other ones that you may find useful.  In fact @PhilipDAth has given you the answer so I'd make the change he has suggested.

You are essentially putting what the switch will perceive as a dumb switch or hub between it and the downstream switches. UDLD is not designed for such a scenario. If everything is working I'd just disable it. If something is not working you can try contacting support although I have my doubts this sort of scenario would be supported

UDLD is only for point-to-point links.  It is not suitable for multipoint links.

You should disable UDLD on the associated ports.  That is my tip.
