R720 Using eth0 and eth1 at the same time

fred_ellena — Fri, 03 Dec 2021 04:16:30 GMT

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to use both interfaces
on a R720 Access Points while they are managed by
vSZ or ZoneDirector or Smart Zone 100.

We currently use eth1(PoE) managed by either one of the above controllers.

I would like to set up a static IP address
on the currently non used eth0 interface.

If this is possible, could you kindly give me a link
for a manual where this is explained?

TIA,

Hi @fred_ellena

First of all you would need to make sure this AP is working on power mode 802.3at+ for both ports to work as by default R720 second port will be disabled hence it needs power mode 802.3at+ or Power over HDBaseT (PoH) 33.5W. You can also hard code the power setting on AP and verify the power mode from AP CLI.

set power-mode at+

get power-mode

If this is managed by vSZ you can create a eth port profile which contains settings that define how an AP will handle VLAN packets when its port is a designated as either trunk, access, or general port.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Are you saying that I need to connect the second port

PoE as well?

I would like to connect the second port as regular internet

(I do not plan to use PoE on the second port).

I just want to set an IP address on the second port.

According to what you are saying, what I am planning to do

is not possible.

Am I correct?

TIA,

You do not need to power on second port but need to make sure currently the power in use is at+ that will activate second port to be used, once the AP is powering on using 802.3at+ power mode you can connect a client on second port and it would receive an IP and work as regular internet.

If still you are in doubt, please share me below command output from your R720 AP:

get power-mode

get lldp

Thanks a lot for your support Vineet.

> need to make sure currently the power in use is at+

The AP is set at+ PoE but when I connect a device

to the AP, the port is not coming up

(same device and cable can connect properly to other device).

Here are the commands you asked and some more:

rkscli: get power-mode

PoE Configured Mode : AT

Power Consumption Status : 802.3at Switch/Injector

rkscli:

rkscli: get lldp
LLDP state: Enabled
LLDP interval: 30
LLDP holdtime: 120
LLDP mgmt: Enabled
LLDP bond type: Source MAC for LLDP frames on bond slaves: fixed
LLDP poe: Enabled
LLDP power: 35000
LLDP interface:
LLDP on eth0 : Enabled
LLDP on eth1 : Enabled
OK
rkscli:

rkscli: get eth

Port Interface 802.1X Logical Link Physical Link Label

-----------------------------------------------------------------

0 eth0 None Down Down 10/100/1000

1 eth1 None Up Up 1000Mbps full 100/1000/2500 PoE

Note: Read Port#N as N+1, if you are referring this CLI output with AP's "Configure :: Ethernet Ports" UI Page.

rkscli:

rkscli: get ipaddr wan

IP Address: (dynamic, vlan xx), IP: 10.ad.dr.ess Netmask 255.255.255.0 Gateway 10.ad.dr.ess

rkscli: get ipmode wan

IP Mode: dual

rkscli:

rkscli: get ipmode lan

IP Mode: ipv4

rkscli:

rkscli: get ipmode mgmt

Network mgmt: n/a

rkscli:

#When I connect a device with a LAN cable to

eth0, as seen above, the port does not come up.

If you have a link to set up via CLI (as my version does not show

the same window that appears in the link you indicated me

in a previous message), that would be wonderful.

My goal is to

1/set an IP address to eth0 interface(as seen above).

2/Create an SSID that can connect with eth0 interface

(A basic draw under):

AP(eth0_IP)------------Wired_Device

| (SSID)

Wireless_Device

TIA,

Danyavad!

@vineet_nejawala

Thanks a lot for your support Vineet.

I am wondering if you had time to review my answer.

@fred_ellena

The power mode looks correct. The client once connected should recieve an IP. Can you please open a TAC ticket adding these details to debug further.
