watchdog reset. Like the stupid people who still manage to dress themselves, drive cars, vote, and generally defy Darwin. Power cycling it via the Packetflux POE would briefly bring it back, but only until SMs started registering. If we logged in during that timeframe and changed the config so that SMs would not register, then it would stayup. This same AP screwed up last Sunday morning for a couple hours, intermittently up and down until it started working again on its own.

I definitely know the memory bug when I see it because stupid things start happening and the AP has to be rebooted. But the AP becoming completely unresponsive while the ethernet statistics all look fine is not one of them. Anything is possible though. If it happens again even on 14.1.2, I would try to bounce the ethernet link and see if that does anything. I have seen a lot of that especially with MikroTik + Canopy. Fairly frequent with P9 and P10 FSK APs. Chuck's surge suppressors seem to add to the problem, but I can live with that. Also, I know that I'm getting about 20 volts at the radios on a couple clusters that are on ~300 feet of cable, SyncInjector fed by a 24v regulated power supply with the pot set at 25 volts (due to UBNT radios on shorter runs). The 450 APs seem to handle it fine. On 7/6/2016 8:15 PM, Rhys Cuff (Latrobe I.T) wrote: I’d also make sure you have enough power getting up the cable to drive it.

I have a 450 AP that has been in service for about a year that has started intermittently becoming nonresponsive from the Ethernet side (can't access GUI, doesn't pass traffic). I thought Ethernet problem, but neither the AP nor the switch shows any errors or events. It is more like the CPU is going to sleep or something, but the Ethernet chip is still active. I don't see anything in the Event Log though. We missed applying the Lite to Full license key on this AP and I thought maybe that was the problem since it was at 10 SMs, but I applied the license key and still see the problem. The weird thing is, if I set the Freq to None, or set the color code to something we don't use, the AP doesn't seem to exhibit the problem. Only once SMs start registering. I'm thinking it's maybe a power starvation issue, that the AP uses more power when actively talking to SMs, and maybe it's not getting enough voltage. But I also see the firmware is still on 13.2.1.3, and I see Cambium finally released 14.1.2 official. I am hesitant to upgrade the firmware though, unless there is some reason to believe what I am seeing is a firmware bug. Otherwise I am just adding to the confusion. < |
