3705i in Autonomous mode

Declan_Liddy — Fri, 28 Aug 2015 23:49:00 GMT

Hi I will be performing site surveys using a Enterasys 3705i access point is there a way of making it autonomous, is there a model that can be made autonomous

Thanks for the replies

Hi Declan,

there is no standalone mode but you'd configure an controller AP to provide service even the controller isn't available.

Here the GTAC article and 2 other posts that discuss this topic...

I think better way will be to place EWC on virtual machine on laptop [free instance of Vmware player can do that]. You have full control of AP and it's really easy to use. You can check different AP's without need of console manipulations 🙂

The CLI on an access point is typically used for debugging and the thirdparty mode is not supported. Noted on the CLI ap shell... AP3715e 09.21.01.0179 interactive shell for service personnel only

If I get a v2110 vm spun up will it let the Ap join, would there be license needed or is there a trial period

Thanks

As i remember if you use evaluation version till it expires AP's can join but only 1 radio can be on.

Will it let me set the AP up as Autonomous and have both radios on

Thanks

Take a look at the following (you should request an Eval)...
