Hi all,
I am building a setup where we need some wired devices to connect to the wired network on a slowly rotating platform where we do have power, but no netwerk connectivity.
My idea is to use a Mesh using a mesh portal and a mesh point. I have a couple of 518 AP's with external omni antenna's to build this. All my configuration is done trough central.
I am using the 8.10.5 software version.
I have configured a wired interface profile for the downlink and configured ETH1 as downlink on all AP's. My idea is that I can connect the uplink of an AP to the wired network. When I plug everythink in, everything is fine and both AP's function as a MESH Portal.
When I unplug 1 of the APs from the switch and connect it to a POE injector, eventually the AP joins the cluster as a mesh point and is online in central.
However, this is only if there is nothing connected to the Data port of the poe injector, so there is no Link on any ethernet port. Whenever I plug in something to the POE injector, like my laptop, as soon as there is link detected on ETH1, the AP reboots with reason "
Mesh point transitioned to portal".
Does someone know what I can do to prevent the reboot from happening when I plug something into the eth port?
