Network Layout:
rb1000 → hp gigabit 8 port switch → back haul runs to 2 locations
from either location hp gigabit switch → rb411, crossroad and rb433ah devices.
the rb1000 is using a lvl6 license. The hp switches are the hp procurve gigabit 8 port switches. All devices are upgraded to ros 3.24
AP configuration is as follow with ssid’s and channels rotating.
# Setup Wireless
/interface wireless set 0 ssid=Air2Data mode=ap-bridge default-forwarding=no disabled=no
#setup bridge interface
/interface bridge add name=bridge1 protocol-mode=rstp
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=ether1
/interface bridge port add bridge=bridge1 interface=wlan1
#Setup Identity
/system identity set name="Air2Data AP"
# Setup Log
/system logging remove 0
/system logging remove 1
/system logging remove 2
/system logging remove 3
/system logging add topics=critical action=disk
/system logging add topics=critical action=echo
/system logging add topics=error action=disk
/system logging add topics=warning action=disk
/system logging add topics=info action=memory
/system logging action set 0 disk-lines=300
/system logging action set 1 disk-lines=300
# setup Internal Clocks
/system clock set time-zone-name="America/Boise"
/system ntp client set enabled=yes primary-ntp=132.239.254.49 secondary-ntp=148.167.132.200 mode=unicast
Problem that has started occuring is when the rb411 and the crossroads are disappearing from the network. Meaning when I plug a laptop into the switch and try to ping the ap it does not show up. I cannot see the ap’s from the rb1000 neighbor view either. Also cannot use winbox to see or login to the ap’s. If I connect directly to the poe injector with a laptop I see the ap just fine and am now able to login. We have replaced all switches and cableing. We have wiped out and reprogrammed the rb1000 and also wiped and reprogrammed the ap’s.
We were able to get things back up and working but we had to switch out the ap’s with 433’s.
We have checked for loopbacks in the network and are unable to find any.
We have the same setup in multiple locations and have never had this problem. In fact this location ran fine with no issues for about a year with no porblems.
Any idea’s or if anyone else has seen this problem would be wonderful to hear from ya.
Thanks
