I recently upgraded from Soho MK3 to the B One.
A TP Link managed switch is connected to the B One ( Port 1 Trunk Any)
My AC One Mini is connected to the managed switch, I have access to the web UI.
Mesh and SSIDs were setup on both B One and AP. The B One even can see the AP. Guest VLAN 10 and IOT VLAN 20.
My issue is, that whatever I configure I cannot connect to the SSIDs on the AP. As soon as I get near the AP where the handoff should happen, connection is lost and my devices (mobile phone, laptop, tablet) are not getting any ip address.
In addition, what is really strange, when a device is connected to the wifi VLAN 10 on the B One, I can also see the device on the AP in the client list but with a very strange ip address (169.x.x.x).
TP Link managed switch is configured as following:
Port 1 is connected to the B One. Default VLAN 1 has all ports as untagged.
Port 2 is connected to the One Mini AP.
VLAN 10 was added as Port 1 untagged and Port 2 tagged (PVID port 1 and 2 = VLAN 1)
VLAN 20 was added as Port 1, 3 and 4 untagged and Port 2 tagged (PVID port 1 and 2 = VLAN 1, Port 3 and 4 = VLAN 20)
Hi, sorry an tha late response, unfortunaqtely I was out of order.
Attached some screenshots from the BOne and the Switch, I cannot figure out what I have done wrong that the AC One mini (connected to the Switch) cannot communicate with the untagged network to provide access to the Guest and IoT Network.
An IP address starting with “169” usually indicates a device is using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), meaning it couldn’t get an IP address from a DHCP server and assigned itself a temporary address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range. (Google)
I don’t have AP Mini, but have AP Enterprise…
Please check
For the clarification of the setup B-One (Default LAN 1, Guest VLAN 10 → managed Switch on port 1 → AP Mini on port 2 (Default LAN 1 , Guest VLAN 10)
On the managed switch,
the VLAN config of Default LAN 1 should be all ports untagged.
the VLAN config of Guest VLAN 10 should be port 1 untagged and port 2 tagged
The ports on B-ONE and AP are set to Trunk
May I ask, how did you setup your DHCP range in regards to static IPs for your LAN/VLANS?
Hi…
AT B-ONE side.
You can keep vlan 1 untag, but all others vlan must be tag on the direct connected port of the switch. (port 1)
At the ap_mini side
same rule at the b-one.
You can keep vlan 1 untag, but all others vlan must be tag on the direct connect port of the switch. (port 2)
At the switch side
port 1
will be listen for the packets coming from vlan 1 (untag) and also will be listen for the packets coming from vlan 10 (tag)
port 2
same rule of port 1 (switch)
Here… I have a
“Server Farm” VLAN 154 where there is no DHCP enable
“home” vlan 7 where is a network range 192.168.7.0/25 with dhcp enable between 192.168.7.20 to 192.168.7.120
