I had an EPMP AP, 1 out of 4 on a tower, go AWOL Yesterday. Upon closer
inspection, it had reset to default configuration, and had gotten a DHCP
IP Address. Numerous powercycles did not change anything. Main and
backup firmware images are 2.6.1.
This is where the weirdness is....
I have a default configuration file that I load on all AP's, going into
the field, it sets a generic SSID, and unit name, as well as security
and QOS settings. I loaded this file onto the defaulted radio, and
rebooted it. After the reboot, it had magically recovered all its
original RF settings, SSID/Frequency/sector Reuse, but all other unit
settings, IP Address/name/snmp were from my default file.
I can understand losing the config due to some memory issue (not that it
should have happened), but not magically restoring half of it when
different info is in the restore file.
