Good day comunity just wondering if you guys could give me an example of when to use the "Zeroconf IP" in the E400 and E500 APs
–169.254.X.Y
where X and Y are the last two bytes of the MAC address
Kind regards
This can be used, for instance, to connect to the device for initial provisioning when you don't have a DHCP server available, or if you've set up a static IP and forgotten what it is.

oh, now I understand.
then last question.
is there a way to Deactivate this IP address?
But I have problems with that command in ePMP 1000 Hotpsot
That link is for the ePMP 1000 SM, not the ePMP 1000 hotspot. The former product is used in a PMP environment. The latter is a Wi-Fi AP.
To disable this IP on the ePMP 1000 hotspot you can either
- if you're using the CLI, use the no ip address zeroconf command under the SVI context i.e. execute
interface vlan 1
no ip address zeroconf
or,
- if you're using the device GUI, navigate to network and the under the SVI configuration disable zeroconf by unticking the Zeroconf IP option for VLAN 1
or,
- if you're using cnMaestro, edit the applicable profile and in the network section modify VLAN 1. Untick the Zeroconf IP option
zeroconf set
interface vlan 1
management-access all
ip address zeroconf
ip address 10.0.10.224 255.255.255.0
(config)# sh interface br
INTERFACE MAC STATUS SPEED DUPLEX
eth1 00-04-56-CC-09-89 UP 100M FULL
eth2 00-04-56-CC-09-8B DOWN N/A N/A
but I can't ping its ip from my ePMP 1000 Hotspot ssh
Tried 169.254.1.1 or 169.254.9.89
I haven't test if I set my pc to 169..254.x.y and ping zeroconf ip
In my theory, I should can ping to myself
The 89 in the mac address is in hexadecimal, which you need to convert to decimal. 0x89 = 137. So the relevant IP address would be
169.254.9.137
Set you PC IP address to something like 169.254.1.1 if you want to ping the device from your PC

Hello everyone , quick question, is there a way to block the Zeroconfig IP for cnPilot?
by default every cambium has default IP 169.254.1.1
You can change the default IP to 169.254.1.2 for all APs and 169.254.1.3 for all BH (Backhaul) radios, and leave SMs (Subscriber Modul) at 169.254.1.1
This can be used, for instance, to connect to the device for initial provisioning when you don't have a DHCP server available, or if you've set up a static IP and forgotten what it is.
SNMP
OID Name OID Description
networkLanDefaultIP .1.3.6.1.4.1.17713.21.3.4.25 Default Network IP
CLI
Change:
config set networkLanDefaultIP 169.254.1.2
config save
config apply
Disable:
config set networkLanDefaultIP 0.0.0.0
config save
config apply
For E series and ePMP 1000 Hotspot is different
(config)# sh interface br
INTERFACE MAC STATUS SPEED DUPLEX
eth1 00-04-56-CC-09-89 UP 100M FULL
so the zeroconf ip=169.254.9.137
89 in hex=89 = (8 × 16¹) + (9 × 16⁰) = 137 in decimal
To disable this IP on the ePMP 1000 hotspot you can either
- if you're using the CLI, use the no ip address zeroconf command under the SVI context i.e. execute
interface vlan 1
no ip address zeroconf
or,
- if you're using the device GUI, navigate to network and the under the SVI configuration disable zeroconf by unticking the Zeroconf IP option for VLAN 1
or,
- if you're using cnMaestro, edit the applicable profile and in the network section modify VLAN 1. Untick the Zeroconf IP option
thanks nbctcp!
but can those comands be used for an E410 AP?
or are those only available for ePMP devices?
also
Is there a menu for disabling the Zeroconf ip in the E410?
thanks quite much for your help
