Accidently turned of LAN access to AP-7522 controller can no longer access configuration page.

brj5144 — Thu, 21 Mar 2019 21:40:08 GMT

Background
My wifi was working fine but the time was always off so I tried to add a ntp time server in the basic settings page. Feeling like I needed to have a default gateway for the time server to work, I enabled the wan port and set a default gateway and ip address. It didn't seem to work so I disabled the wan port. When I did it seems to have disabled the lan access as well. So now I have wifi up and running and no lan access to configure any more settings or see the dashboard.

Question
Can I reset this Access Point to factory settings and let it adopt with another virtual controller or is there another way I can access this AP and enable the LAN port?

If network access has been shut off, then your only option would be to console connect to the AP and factory reset it.

Your options:

A:
1 - Reset the AP
2 - Make one of the working APs the virtual controller and have it adopt all the rest of the APs including this one

B: Enable the LAN port on this one AP
1 - Log into this AP via console port
2 - Run the following commands:
>en
#self
#int ge 1
#show context
If the port is disabled you should see a line stating 'shutdown'
In this case re-enable it
#no shutdown
#com wr
#show context

I hope this helps,

Christoph

Thank you all so much. I connected to the console port of the ap and it does not give me an option to login. It just keeps displaying logs. The logs are something about denial of service ip spoofing from various ip addresses. I assume this is typical logs. But I can not figure out a way to actually stop the logs and login to the access point.

The login prompt was probably lost amongst the log lines.

Restart the AP and the first thing you should see is login:

Even if the logs start coming in at this point, continue entering the login username and password until you are able to get in.

Once in you can disable IPSPOOF logs and proceed:

Again thanks so much. Every answer gets me one step closer.

I disconnected the network cable, so I no longer get IPSPOOF messages.

I restarted the AP and everything connects and boots up just fine. It gets to a line where it says press enter to activate this console but when I press enter nothing happens. It seems that nothing I press on the keyboard activates the console if you have any suggestions.

I'm not sure what terminal emulator software you are using but please make sure you use putty.exe and nothing else.

Thank you,

Yes that is what I am using. I tried to follow the directions completely. Should I be connecting with serial. I am using the settings above in this link.

Sorry I don't think the first link worked

I tried it from a laptop and a different pc. Same result enter does not do anything when I try to access the AP. Not sure where to go no.

Thanks

ok I was able to ssh in to the default ip address. I can logon with my admin and password. I ran the commands that you gave me and it shows the interface is up. How can I set an ip address on it.

brj5144 — Fri, 22 Mar 2019 03:34:34 GMT

I typed in how to set the ip from the command line and I set it with the command line through ssh to the default ip address on the network port. Thank everyone for getting me on the right track.

self
interface vlan1 (assuming that's what you use)
ip address x.x.x.x/24

com wr

You can always do "help search " to find commands that you are looking for and what context it's in.
You can do "show running" - to see you whole config and modify what's needed
