topic When a switch loses it's uplink, how does a connected AP determine when connectivity is lost and when to switch to mesh mode? in ZoneDirector https://community.ruckuswireless.com/t5/ZoneDirector/When-a-switch-loses-it-s-uplink-how-does-a-connected-AP/m-p/8197#M1500 Saw some good but unexpected AP behavior today. <BR /> I've only got one meshed AP on my entire campus (on a normal day) but a switch lost it's uplink this morning. <BR /><BR /> The monitoring application showed that the switch and connected APs went down but before service could be restored to the switch, I got an alert saying that the APs were up again. <BR /><BR /> The ZoneDirector's link history showed that the affected APs meshed to other APs that still had connectivity. <BR /><BR /> The affected AP still had a link to the local (isolated) switch. <BR /> How did it determine when to go to meshed mode? <BR /> Do meshed APs attempt to back-feed traffic into the switches they're connected to? <BR /> If so, how do you prevent network loops when multiple APs are connected to the same switch?
