Misconfigured Access Point IP address
IP address misconfiguration can occur when you are re-addressing a segment of your mesh network
and you start at the mesh access point connected to the wired network (RAP). To avoid this problem,
always start the IP addressing changes from the farthest access point and work your way back to the
root access point. This problem might also happen if you move equipment such as uninstalling an mesh
access point and then redeploying with a different IP subnet in another physical location on the mesh
network.
Another option to fix this misconfigured IP address is to physically take a controller in Layer 3 mode
with a root access point to the location of the misconfigured mesh access point. Set the bridge group
name for the root access point to match the misconfigured access point. Add the access point MAC
address to the filter list of the controller. When the misconfigured access point appears in the Summary
page of the controller, configure the access point with an IP address.
If you are using a static IP address on the access point and plan on redeploying the access point on
another subnet, perform a
clear config
command from the controller for that access point while it is
joined before you remove it from the network.
Verifying the Controller MAC Filter List
Prior to activating your access point, you must ensure that the access point MAC address has been
added to the controller MAC Filter list and that Mac Filter List is enabled. To view the MAC addresses
added to the controller MAC filter list and ensure the MAC filter list is enabled, you can use the
controller CLI or the controller GUI.
Controller CLI
Use the
show macfilter summary
controller CLI command to view the MAC addresses added to the
controller filter list.
Controller GUI
Log into your controller web interface (HTTPS) using a web browser and click
SECURITY
>
AAA
>
MAC Filtering
to view the MAC addresses added to the controller filter list. Then click
Wireless
>
Mesh
to ensure the MAC filter list is enabled.
