Wireless Access

Hi All,

I've done L3 deployments a couple of times, routed stuff through multiple firewalls and routers, so I think I understand the basics. But I have no idea what's happening here... :)

Scenario: testing deployment with 620 controller and 2 93H APs. L2 connected works fine, firmware 6.1.3.5.

Connecting the other AP to a different vlan, vyatta (linux) router in between (also provides dhcp). Using DNS for controller location, also placed option 43 in dhcp, but that didn't solve it. I can't ping or arping the AP from the router or any other box. Here's the tcpdump from the booting of the AP:

15:50:17.556677 arp who-has 172.17.0.251 tell 172.17.0.1

172.17.0.1 is the router, 172.17.0.251 is the AP, 172.18.250.250 is the controller.

After finding the controller, the AP won't reply to any ARP request. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Tamas

Update:

Hooked up the AP on layer 2, upgraded firmware and provisioned. Switched back port to original vlan, now works perfect...

Not sure about the original firmware on the AP.
