    Community,

    I have attached a brand new 105 AP to the network and get the following:

     

    APBoot 1.2.4.4 (build 26618)
    Built: 2011-01-07 at 13:42:04

    Model: AP-10x
    CPU: AR7161 revision: A2
    Clock: 680 MHz, DDR clock: 340 MHz, Bus clock: 170 MHz
    DRAM: 128 MB
    POST1: passed
    Copy: done
    Flash: 16 MB
    PCI: scanning bus 0 ...
    dev fn venID devID class rev MBAR0 MBAR1 MBAR2 MBAR3

    01 00 168c 0029 00002 01 10010000 00000000 00000000 00000000
    Net: eth0
    Radio: ar922x#0, ar922x#1

    Checking image @ 0xbf800000
    Invalid image format version: 0xffffffff
    eth0 up: 100 Mb/s full duplex
    DHCP broadcast 1
    DHCP IP address: 10.129.129.8
    DHCP subnet mask: 255.255.255.224
    DHCP def gateway: 10.129.129.1
    DHCP DNS server: 0.0.0.0
    DHCP DNS domain:
    Controller address: 10.129.129.166
    Using eth0 device
    TFTP from server 10.129.129.166; our IP address is 10.129.129.8; sending through gateway 10.129.129.1
    Filename 'mips32.ari'.
    Load address: 0x2000000
    Loading: ICMP Host Redirect to
    *** Reboot caused by watchdog timeout. ***

     

    The AP is stuck in a reboot loop. It obviously sees the controller and get an IP but it never binds to the controller. Controller is a 3200XM running 6.4.4.11 code. Any ideas? I read a few similar articles on here, one of which said to RMA the AP.

     

    Thanks.

    Statically configure the ip, subnet mask, default gateway and "masterip", and see if it still happens.

    Long story short, APBoot 1.2.4.4 cannot handle ICMP redirects without crashing.  Later revisions of the AP-105 hardware APboot have this patched.  The only workaround is to avoid ICMP redirects, by statically configuring the parameters.
