WAX214 SSDP help requested
I have a python script called vadim.py that uses ssdp to discover devices on my network. See full script at https://github.com/dumbo25/wemosetup and vadim.py The goal of the script is to find al...
I went back through the JGS524PE settings. The one that seems to make a difference is QoS Mode, which I changed from 802.1p-based to Port-based. And now the script works! Yay! Thank you!
Sorry for the confusion. Here is how my network is configured.
My ISP's Gateway has four ports. Three are connected to switch 1, switch 2 and the downstairs AP. The upstairs AP was connected to the 4th port when the script found all 29 WeMos. Now, the upstairs AP is connected to a PoE port on switch 2.
Perhaps, the switch is creating the "network segment". I will check its settings.
So the PoE switch powering the WAX214 is also linked to one of the router ports I'm guessing. that far that good. this makes just yet another link, nothing dedicated, unless you start to use multiple VLANs which can let that link to appear as a part from a different network.
What PoE switch is in place there?.
The WAX214 is connected to a NetGear JGS524PE - 24-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE Smart Managed Switch.
I am not using any of the smart features of the switch (I thought I might in the future). No VLAN settings are enabled.
WAX214 has firmware 2.0.1.3 upgraded to 2.1.1.2 and confirmed
Upstairs JGS524PE has firmware 2.6.0.43 upgraded to 2.6.0.48 and confirmed. I updated the downstairs switch as well.
After upgrade, checked that all upstairs WeMos are connected to switch 2
When I run the script, I get the same results. Connected to ac1, ac2 or n SSIDs it returns only the downstairs WeMos.
Connected to n2, I get only the upstairs WeMos.
My understanding of ssdp is it does not work across network segments. Somehow a network segment is created when the AP is not directly plugged into the ISP's gateway.
