https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/To-Be-Moved/Lazy-question-Can-an-eMesh-AP-auto-provision-over-ethernet/m-p/23927#M1415 I tried this out, and it worked! The AP was able to contact the ZD, get provisioned/updated, then reorganize into an eMesh AP.

Namely, the current network topology looks like:<BR /><BR /><BR />ZD 1200 -&gt; Wired R600 ..... mesh R500 &lt; — ethernet — &gt; 7782<BR /><BR />If I just replaced the 7782 with an unprovisioned T300, I would expect that it should establish an ethernet link to the ZD via the R500 as a bridge, and get provisioned, and only then become aware that it should reorganize into an eMesh AP.... right? Or do I really have to plug it into the physically wired section of my network where I'm out of PoE ports?
