Ethernet backhaul for two satellites with Nighthawk WiFi 6 Mesh RBK62/63
I am having an issue with a managed Unifi network when I connect an MS60 to the US-24-G1 switch.
Any special VLAN I have to configure/allow?
I am using the MR60 and MS60s as access points.
...
What Firmware version is currently loaded?
Be sure your wiring the MR and MS using the following configuration:
VLAN would be configured or needed for the MK system in AP mode using ethernet backhaul. Be sure any green ethernet or IGMP protcols are disabled on the swtich.
Be sure your using a good quality LAN cables CAT6 is recommended.
versions are:
MS60: V1.1.6.122_2.0.58
MR60: V1.1.6.122_2.0.58
When I plug in the MS60 to try a wired backhaul it created a loopback (seems like it, can't confirm yet), and the network comes down.
How is the switch connected to the MR and MS. The MS needs to be connected behind the MR, even if a switch is in use, the switch should be in between the MR and MS.
Check this by connecting the MS directly to the back of the MR with a ethernet cable.
They are on the same VLAN. Coincidentally the same switch as well but it shouldn't matter.
The topology is as following:
-Firewall (router) (VLAN1) [3 Lan ports]
|- primary switch (VLAN2)
|- Secondary switch (VLAN3)
|- MR60
I am trying to add the MS60 to the secondary switch which automatically assigns it to VLAN 3.
The switch goes down.
The firewall and primary switch are still online.
If I connect it to any other equipment it brings that entire node down.
It seems like the wireless backhaul remains active and that causes a loopback on the wired connection.
Check this by connecting the MS directly to the back of the MR with a ethernet cable with out the switch in the middle.
