R510 Hostname

So a couple of things:

1. I set up a reserved IP for my printer (Epson).  Reason being I am getting occasional power glitches so the Ruckus assigns a different IP to the printer.  I have configured the printer TCP/IP Port to the Ruckus supplied IP.   Unless there is a way in the printer config to fix this...not sure?

2. When I run an IP scan (I use the Angry IP Scanner) on my local network, the Ruckus result is not showing a hostname. I can SSH into the 510,  but can't find the command to show or change the hostname?

Hi Raymond,

I have tested in my lab setup with Unleashed R510 running on 200.7.10.202.94 version, in gateway mode.

I created a DHCP pool 10.106.0.1/16 and reserved IP address 10.106.0.3 for my Android phone in DHCP. When I connected my phone to WLAN, I got the same IP (IP which is reserved).

Post this I rebooted the AP and my DHCP reservation was still there and upon connecting to WLAN, my phone again got the same IP address.

So I have concluded, rebooting the current master AP will not impact DHCP IP reservation because it is not a temporary entry but a permanent configuration, which will not get removed automatically upon AP reboot.

If you are still facing issue with your printer IP address being changed upon AP reboot, then I will advise you to open a support case and report the issue for further troubleshooting.

Hi Raymond,

Hostname for Unleashed master will show as whatever name you have given to your controller when you setup Unleashed first time. For rest of the APs (member APs) it will be name of the AP, you have configured for each AP.

You can configure member AP names by editing the APs from GUI or you can use the CLI commands as explained by James.

Also, some times you may not see the full information on scan results, if there is a firewall in-between the source device (your PC where IP scanner is running) to destination devices/IP pool (in this case, IP pool of Unleashed IP address).

Also try using Advance IP scanner, as some times I find different results, when I use Angry IP scanner vs. Advance IP scanner.

Regards,

Thanks.  But is seems to show manufacturer versus host name? For my Ruckus, I see the IP under the Name column and Ruckus Wireless under Manufacturer.
Is the "Name"  column the hostname?

Thanks again.

Scan result from IP scanner looks like below for a laptop in the network.

Here, F01NX52 is the hostname of test laptop.
