problem connecting after reset

robert_wilde — Sat, 16 Aug 2014 08:21:09 GMT

Hello,

I'm struggling to connect to a ZoneFlex 7372. The only time I can achieve any response is during a full reset. After releasing the reset button, the host goes down for a second then as you can see below it responds to a ping for few moments then it stops again.

Needless to say, I can't get any response in the browser.

Any help would be great!

I'd suggest to contact tech support, as you may need an RMA.

I've actually worked out the issue, for others if they are experiencing simliar.

There was an active DHCP server connected to the POE switch, which was giving the Ruckus AP an IP during that short period.

I managed to connect to the AP no prob, when I looked at the connected devices within the DHCP server and found the dynamic IP that it was given.

What you're supposed to do is power up the AP without any other routers connected so it uses its own static IP - not always possible though if your POE switch is in use.

Ah, it wasn't obvious that your AP was ZD managed in the inquiry.

If bringing up new APs in a production network, they will take local DHCP.

If this is not the VLAN/subnet the ZD is in, we recommend DHCP option 43/DNS
hostname resolution to point them, or you may need to use 'set director ip a.b.c.d'.

--
If bringing up/upgrading APs prior to ZD/AP deployment and not on a network,
you can temporarily use the built-in DHCP server (max scope 512 IPs).

If trying to bring up multiple new APs on a defaulted non-network ZD (192.168.0.2),
the first AP (default IP 192.168.0.1) will join, but all other APs after the first will not.
