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?

Try to take a closer look and compare if it is Ruckus R510 AP.

If you know the MAC address of the AP, you can easily recognize it in IP scanner results.

So this is on my ceiling:  Image_ images_messages_5f91c487135b77e247ad3f1a_693b361f5c0cf609844d948ed17ac618_RackMultipart20200106793651hhn-4e25f543-7d5c-42fb-af42-36a6b760e41e-1287542778.jpg1578331721

And this is in the network cabinet.  What is the Ruckus device?  Image_ images_messages_5f91c487135b77e247ad3f1a_80fdb53d29e697d10a03e9ec90a66d3c_RackMultipart20200106117277ssr-ea651ab6-c119-4515-8eb8-732fa620de83-1006939607.jpg1578331789
The above is after I had wall RJ45's connected.

So the ceiling one is Ruckus R510 AP and other white box which has Ruckus writen on it, is Ruckus ICX switch.

Other two devices should be the internet gateway/router and optical fiber termination device or MUX.

I am not 100% sure about the configuration but these kind of installation usually runs DHCP server on router/modem/gateway and switch just provides multiple ethernet out ports and POE power for end devices.

Our Ruckus AP must be connected to Ruckus ICX switch for power and data connection.

So if you are facing issue with DHCP, I will suggest you to check below things.

1- Figureout where is the DHCP server.
2- If DHCP server on ISP router/gateway then engage them for help.
3- If it is configured on Ruckus Unleashed AP then reboot AP will delete the lease, it is intended behaviour.
4- If DHCP server is running on Ruckus ICX switch, you may have to check
the DHCP configuration and lease status before and after rebooting AP.

By the way, you have mentioned that "I set up a reserved IP for my printer (Epson)" so where did you reserved the IP? On which device you did it?

I reserved the IP on the Ruckus AP, so thats where the DHCP is.  So if I have a whole house power glitch, I will loose that IP reservation, right?

Hi Raymond,

Could you also share the screenshots of the other 3 tabs.

I will try to test in my lab setup for this feature and will get back to you.

Also confirm the Unleashed firmware version.
