AP 175 is not pingable on local switch

This thread has been viewed 2 times

  • 1.  AP 175 is not pingable on local switch

    Posted Feb 10, 2012 04:58 PM

    What are the possible reasons that an AP 175 is not pingable at a local switch? The power and ethernet cable tested satisfactorily. The vlan and trunk ports are set correctly at the local switch. There are no errors on the switchport. The trunk is flapping due to non dot1q trunk. The portal AP 175 is constantly rebooting due to a non-certified antenna for the North American market.

    Is the switch providing PoE+ power or just regular PoE?

    The switch is PoE. The AP 175 was working a few weeks ago.

    I stand corrected. The AP175P is POE+.

    Excellent. That is the preferred method. Supposedly they are supposed to work on just regular PoE. However, at least when they were first released, mine sat in a reboot cycle on just PoE. On PoE+ it worked just fine.

    How do you know what ip address it has, or if it even got an ip address?  Do you have the USB console cable to take a look?

    The usb connection to the AP reveals the following below. Aruba TAC said that the the 5146 antenna was not certified for use in the North American market. The Territory Manager admitted quoting the 5146 antenna instead of the 5146U antenna. The antenna is constantly scanning for the channels. This AP 175 was working earlier. Since the AP 175 is no longer pingable from the switch, the controller cannot enforce a policy.

  • 8.  RE: AP 175 is not pingable on local switch

    EMPLOYEE
    Posted Feb 13, 2012 11:33 AM

    It doesn't look like it is getting an IP address.

     

    From the apboot prompt, try running the command: dhcp

     

    If it gets an IP address, then try pinging the gateway using the ping command.

     

    My guess is that the dhcp command will not work. That is why it is trying to go into full mesh mode, since it cannot obtain an IP address.
