Can I prevent an Identifi AP from rebooting after 5 minutes?

Hello,

Is there a way to prevent an Identifi access point from rebooting after 5 minutes? The access point isn't connected to an controller at that time (he do not know any suitable controller), therefore he is rebooting after 5 minutes and start the discovery again. But I will do an manual update (the image download lasts longer than 5 minutes) before I connect the AP to an controller.

SSH access is available

Stephan

OK you need a little bit more..... looks like it only works if you've a SSID configured.

First I've enabled link/mode persistance, set a static controller IP (free IP in the subnet) and then I've one bridge@AP untagged SSID - might be that some commands are missing or not needed but the AP doesn't reboot with the following setup..

cset modePersistence enable
cset linkPersistence enable
cset authip 1 192.168.0.250
capply
csave

#SSID
cset vapMode 0:1 bridge
cset vapVlanId 0:1 24876
cset uapsd 0:1 disable
cset vlanLegacy 0:1 disable
cset vapVidAc 0:1 22
cset vapSsid 0:1 "openone"
cset vapGroupKeyUpdate 0:1 0
cset vapWdsParentAP 0:1 ""
cset vapWdsBackParentAP 0:1 ""
cset vapWdsName 0:1 "AP3705i-1"
cset vapUcastFilterCos 0:1 add opennone no-rule
cset vapCos 0:1
cset vapMuInitPeriodBehaviour 0:1 defaultPolicy
cset vapDynamicEgressVlanList 0:1 45053 0
cset vapPolicyFlag 0:1 4
cset vapDefaultAction 0:1 4
cset vapDefaultContainVlan 0:1 45053
capply
csave
reboot

That only set the ssh timout to unlimited but doens't stop the countdown for the reboot AFAIK

Hello Ron,

that's not enough. I enabled modePersistence but after 5 minutes the AP reboots .

I think his concern was that he cannot upgrade the firmware because the AP is rebooting on him while he is connected via ssh. I have been in that position before.

The article that Jason linked will help with this.

Doing this in the ssh console should break the reboot loop and allow you to upgrade the firmware ...
cset sshtimeout 0
capply
csave

Hello Stephan,

If the AP needs to be upgraded, it can be done with a TFTP server and console or SSH access to the CLI. This KB will help - https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-upgrade-IdentiFi-Wireless-AP-firmwa...

Regardless of the version, if the AP is not registered to a controller, it will continue to reboot every 5 minutes.
