Is there a reason ePMP devices still use 169.254.1.1 even after being programmed with a different IP address? Why is this necessary on ePMP but not PMP450? Is there a way to disable this IP or change it through GUI?
It is not broadcasting it, it is just a failover recover IP
No, there is no way to disable it other than flash to older firmware than 2.0
It can be changed via the cli.
config set networkLanDefaultIP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Then apply and save

Did, that and it worked. Why cant it be changed through GUI though?

(1) To reduce the number of support calls cambium receives from people that didn’t document or mis-documented the IP address of a radio and now can’t access it because they intentionally / accidentally disabled the default IP.
(2) There is only so much stuff you can cram into the GUI and this is probably a setting that would not be used by almost anyone (and many that did use it would end up being #1 above). Seems fine exactly where it is since there is no reason for the vast majority of people to disable the default IP.
Edit: I wonder if using the CLI command also changes the 2nd default IP of 192.168.01 and 192.168.0.2 ?
