Ruckus R650 slave not working

Sdhn — Thu, 23 Feb 2023 08:03:07 GMT

Hi everyone,

I want to ask I have connected to wireless router which is connected to the internet, an access point R650 unleashed version. Then I want to add another AP unleashed to, I already connected the AP to the same wireless router but the second AP is still not become slave. What should I do?

Hello @Sdhn

Please provide the below details-

Current unleashed firmware version-

What is the model of the AP you are trying to connect in unleashed controller-

Please make sure both the APs are getting the IP address in the same subnet/network

Hi Ayush_Tripathi,

I'm using R650-200.9.10.4.202 version firmware. The AP slave and the main one are all R650.

Is it a problem to have a DHCP server for client and for AP in the same range and class? For example :

192.168.5.1 - 192.168.5.100 for AP and client.

Can you tell me where should I change if I want to make DHCP for slave AP?

I used another R650 in another network that is connected to a managed switch , and after setting the main AP I just set the slave's switch port to the same Vlan and create DHCP server in the switch. And it automatically added the slave AP when I connect a new AP R650 to the switch.

Hello @Sdhn

Master AP and member AP both needs to be in the same VLAN/Subnet, so the member APs automatically join the master in unleashed controller.

For Example if Master AP IP in range of 192.168.5.1 - 192.168.5.100, you need to add the member AP as well into the same IP range.

Hi @Sdhn

You can use the below command to set the IP address on the Member AP
set ip addr wan <ip> <netmask> <gateway>

Eg :
set ip addr wan 192.168.50.9 255.255.255.0 192.168.50.1

Hi @Sdhn
Login to the member AP CLI (using the GUI user name and password) and then try the command.

can I set DHCP for the member AP so it will be easier if I need to add more member?

If so where can I add without using CLI? I have only 1 DHCP server which is my router.

The client AP DHCP is from that router.

Hi @Sdhn
The Ruckus APs are by default configured to get the IP address from DHCP, if it fails then it will fall back to the default IP 192.168.0.1.

The factory defaulted AP should come up looking for the DHCP IP. Once it gets it, then you can login to the CLI and set the Master's IP (if not taken).

If the AP is already set up with a static IP and if you want to change it then you can do it from CLI using the below command
"set ipaddr wan dynamic"

The problem is the other AP that is connected to the network are not getting any IP from DHCP even if I wait a few hours. So can you tell me how to connect and set the IP using CLI?

Hi @Sdhn

You could set static IP on AP using below format :

set ipaddr wan <IP_address> <subnetmask> <gateway>
