Accessing Mesh Manager and Station

Using two IP Addresses

  • Mesh Manager IP Address:

192.168.1.254

  • Fail-Safe/Local IP Address:

192.168.1.8

  • Fail-Safe/Local IP Address:

192.168.1.8

  • Through Mesh Manager

Find Out Mesh Manager IP address

Static setting or acquiring IP Address from DHCP Server

Mesh Manager IP address could be assigned as static IP address or obtained from a DHCP server when “Mesh Manager IP Setting” is set to DHCP mode. Fail-Safe/Local IP address could be used to login to the Mesh Manager to

  • bserve what IP address is assigned by DHCP server.

Clear ARP Table on Laptop or PC

for connecting to different MeshAPs with same (i.e.) Fail-Safe/Local IP address

Situation: A number of MeshAPs are being accessed with a laptop or PC via Ethernet port to perform

  • configuration. The Ethernet connection to the first device works fine, but connecting to subsequent

MeshAPs with same IP address requires some technique to work correctly. Explanation: The laptop or PC will record the MAC and IP address of the first MeshAP’s Ethernet port in its ARP (address resolution protocol) table. After the Ethernet connection is disconnected from the first MeshAP, its ARP table still retains the entry of IP to that MeshAP’s MAC address mapping of the first MeshAP. When the laptop or PC wants to connect to a different MeshAP but with the same IP address, the IP to MAC address mapping in ARP table will then be wrong and the connection will fail. Solution: Flush the ARP table of a Windows system by issuing “arp –d” command under “DOS Prompt” on laptop or PC . Ethernet (Wire)
