GS724TPP and AP issue
I have two EnGenius EWS377AP's connected to the GS724TPP switch using POE 802.3at. I am using VLAN's, but not a management VLAN and no issues there. I cannot ping or log in to either one from the...
Possible workaround to the issue - I suspect the AP does go all tagged on PoE why ever (compatibility to the makers wireless controller?) - would be to change the "base VLAN" from untaged to tagged for both the AP management and the SSID assigned on both ends.
I have yet not set a VLAN management. The port the AP is connected to is set for Admin mode and has 4 tagged VLAN's for network segmenting only and has a PVID of 1. The AP is on the same subnet as the switch. The AP is working as it should and handing out the right addresses per SSID's. I just can't log in to it unless connected to one of the SSID's.
I use the same port whether or not I'm using an external power pack or the POE. I can ping the AP when using the external power, but not when using only POE.
Sorry Michelle911 ...

...now I understand the second part of the initial message, too.
Must admit - completely buffed. As any other "...I am using VLAN's, but not a management VLAN and no issues there. ..." communication seems to be workable either way - have you talked to the AP maker already?

I went ahead and assigned a separate "Management VLAN" just for the network equipment, which is probably best anyway, and now I can access it. I find it odd that I have to. Thanks for the replies.
