Step 2: Ensure that the AP’s Mesh Mode is set to Auto
1 Go to Configure > Access Points and click the Edit link next to the AP you
want to recover.
2 Under Advanced Options > Mesh Mode , select Auto and click OK .
Step 3: Locate the AP’s Mesh Recovery SSID
1 In your notebook’s wireless connection list, locate the Mesh recovery SSID. The
SSID will be named
“island-xxxxxx”
(where xxxxxx is the last 6 digits of the
AP’s MAC address).
2 Connect to this WLAN using WPA and the passphrase
ruckus-<admin
password>
. (The admin password is the same as that used to log into
ZoneDirector.)
3 You can now access the AP’s web interface by entering the AP’s recovery IP
address
169.254.1.1
in the browser.
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.
Step 4: Connect to the AP and update its Mesh settings
1 Launch your SSH client and enter the IP address
169.254.1.1
