Meru AP822i

[lears]

Hi,

 

I have a Meru AP822i AP that has been offline for a while due to building refurb.

 

I've just plugged it back in and the lights are stuck on alternating green/white - "AP is discovering the controller".

 

Anyone have any ideas how to get past this?

 

The controller & APs are on a totally flat network - no VLANS.

Have you tried plugging it in another port in a different building, to rule out any other network issues?

This suggests no layer 2 connectivity between AP and controller (as Meru can tunnel from AP to controller at layer 2)

 

If you have only one VLAN for PCs, APs etc., you must have DHCP on this VLAN, why not try connecting a laptop to see if you get an IP and can ping the controller?

 

Kind Regards, Bruce.

This is strange, it was plugged directly into a switch when it wasn't working. I plugged it into a port in the room (which goes back to the same cabinet) and it started working.

 

Baffled.

 

Thanks for your help!
