Cannot reach managed AP's via browser.

sheldon_lefkowi — Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:22:15 GMT

My R600's are managed by a ZD1200. I can't reach the individual AP's via their IP address in the browser. I'm guessing I missed something when I set up the 1200. Can someone point me to a global setting that enables this feature?

Thanks...

The AP GUI is now disabled when you manage them through a ZD. You can SSH into the AP and turn the GUI on through the CLI but if the AP reboots then it will go back to the default.

Thanks, I guess that answers my question.

You can enable http/https access using:

ruckus> enable ruckus#debug
ruckus(debug)# remote_ap_cli -A "set http enable"
ruckus(debug)# remote_ap_cli -A "set https enable"

It is not a bug the Web UI has been disabled on newer versions on ZD code.

Here is an extract from the 9.10 manual - page 394:

Note that because the AP is still in ZoneDirector-managed state, you cannot make
configuration changes via the web interface. Therefore you will need to proceed to
the next step and connect to the AP’s CLI to make changes.

The command that can be used in ZD cli is as follows

ruckus(debug)# rksap_cli -A "set https enable"

You can obviously still use the remote_ap_cli command if you wish.

Note: dependent on your environment I would be careful about enabling http 🙂

ok. thanks. Is this the case with AP's managed via Vscgs too?

That is correct its all about saving memory in the AP:

rkscli: get http
HTTP access is disabled
OK
rkscli: get https
HTTPs access is enabled
But the service is off, it is turned off to save memory once AP is managed by SCG!
If you need the service, please enable again by command "set https/http enable"!
OK
rkscli:

Its an undocumented feature, but a good one, as the Web UI is a waste of memory on AP's that are managed by a ZD/SZ/SCG

Reboot.

If that's the message you get on the console, your ZD may be bad. (RMA material)
