Save the above as rc.poststart in the /etc/persistent/ directory.

To make the con guration permanent, run "save" from the cli.

I use winSCP in SCP client client for both the cli terminal and as the le manager.

Cheers

Putty works as well. Same for PSCP, although WinPSCP works more like a windows-gui ftp client.

Hi everyone,

I had to change the mac address on one of my APs because as a fool I had 4 CPEs with ap mac lock enabled and had changed a faulty ap by
a new one

To do so I followed this thread:

forum.ubnt.com/showthread.php?t=48059&page=3

since i typed these commands my rocket doesnt answer to ping:

ifcon g ath0 down

ifcon g ath0 hw ether XX:YY:ZZ:TT:GG:FF

did even have time to type "ifcon g ath0 up" that I got cut off with a time out error message in putty.

This sounds bad doesn't it?

Can you help?

Thanks

By miracle I could reboot it via aircontrol even if it didnt answer to ping.

?!
I'll just go onsite and disable ap mac lock in the 5 cpes that got cut off after changing the ap controller
Would be nice to have the mac cloning feature in bridge mode also

Registered: 05-16-2013 ssh y ejecutamos este comando cfgmtd -w -p /etc/ esto lo hace permanente . ahora reiniciamos reboot . Ahora en el ap desactivamos
el airmax y vemos que se nos conectan varias estaciones , no todas, pero van conectando a medida que bamos actualizando. Entramos en
cada una y ponemos vincular al mac (la mac del nuevo aparato, la original) del Ap y vamos haciendo cada uno asi y refrescando, cuando
los tenemos todos activamos el airmax. Vamos al directorio etc y borramos los dos cheros suvidos y reiniciamos y VOILAAA todas las
estaciones conectadas al nuevo AP y funcionando perfectamente con la mac original del nuevo AP aparato.

Cant believe Its so dif cult andfrustrating to change mac address of an AP (Rocket M5) to replace a broken one, we use both ssid and ap
mac to prevent rogue ap attacks, and now we are tied because we just cant change the mac address, shameful.
