Prerequisites - One Time Process
- Delete the dnsmasq binary.
Code Block |

10. Reboot the device
11. Ensure mesh backhaul connectivity is established over 5G through wifi1.1 interface.
Code Block |
---|
|
iw dev wifi1.1 info |
12. Verify mesh backhaul connection in EM-Controller side as well.
Code Block |
---|
|
iw dev wifi1.1.sta<i> info
iw dev wifi1.1.sta<i> station dump ## This command gives information on connected client ie Extender2. |
13. Wait for few minutes( for Agent to propagate SSID information from Controller to OneWifi in Extender2) and then check
- Check all configured VAPs should be up and running with "iw dev" command
- VAPs should be broadcasting default EasyMesh SSIDS (ie private_ssid, mesh_backhaul)
14. Set static IP for brlan0 interface in Extender2
Code Block |
---|
|
ifconfig brlan0 10.0.0.205 netmask 255.255.255.0 up |
15. Test the connectivity to EM-Controller through backhaul
Code Block |
---|
|
ping 10.0.0.1 -c 5 |
Test the connectivity with wireless clients.
