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

Jason is right you'd need to enable mode persistance so the AP doesn't reboot every 5min to try the controller dicovery.

I think that's the CLI command but I haven't tried whether it works only with this one command....

cset modePersistence enable
capply
csave

Hello Jason,

thank you for your fast response. But that not my intend. I have to update the AP before of I create the contact to an controller, to update the access point image.

Hello Stephan,

This article describes how the access point can be configured to maintain service when it cannot contact the controller.

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/How_To/How-to-Maintain-Wireless-Services-upon-an-...

For this to work, the AP must be brought up and configured on a controller and then would have to maintain power as well.

Regards,
Jason
