Changing URL on EAP245

2022-05-15 15:35:17

Model: EAP225

Hardware Version: V5

Firmware Version:

I have a EAP 245 wall mount which I need to change the address of the controller. I have successfully changed it on my switches but I need to do it on a couple of APs. How can I do this REMOTELY . I have access to the router but it does not have the ability for me to VPN in. I can setup a temporary NAT rule for web access or SSH but I cannot get either to work. How do I change/factory reset the AP without going to site?

@Jellyhead

Is the AP currently managed by an (old) SDN controller?...if so, just forget the device via the UI...this will be the same as a factory reset.

However, if your controller isn't local you can definitely paint yourself into a corner. I think we need more context on your topology.

Hi, thanks for the reply. Two AP's were connected to a controller (version 5) but now I want to move the AP's to another controller using a new DNS name. This controller is currently shutdown and a new controller and the new domain name is running. I did not "Forget" the AP's before I shutdown the old controller.

@Jellyhead It's hard to do it remotely without any other thing.

A simple way: ask your stuff connect a PC to the EAP site router, and you can do Teamviewer/Anydesk to remote manage the PC. Then use EAP local IP to login, and if this is an EAP with recently firmware, there will be a RESET option on it's web interface. After resetting the EAP, login again and set up Controller IP.
