Re: Ghosts in our 6 New Ubiquity Pros - provision issues.

Only have 1 Pro on my network and it hasn't given me any issues, several of the original AP and AP-LR as well without issues.

What is the uptime on the AP? You should be able to ssh into the APs using the controller username and password. It is a linux base so 'uptime' will tell you. You can also check for ethernet errors using 'ip -s link' on the AP side.

We have all APs set with static addresses. EdgeMax only hands out IPs to
clients using the APs.

This happens when people are using the APs and when no one is even in the
building  at 2am when there are no clients connected. It can happen to one
then 5 hours later it happens again...then doesn't happen again for 12
hours. Totally random no interval.

It is nice to know that others have no issues with these UniFi AP Pros.
They seem to be fine except for the 2 mins or so they randomly drop link
and reboot themselves. All are on APC UPSes and other devices in the same
switch , like voip phones, never drop the ports.

They are all new, delivered in various batches over time. We checked and
all are the latest versions.

The IP can change on the UniFi without having to re-adopt or
re-provision.  APs are identified by MAC address at the UniFi protocol
level (not layer 2).

Here is another though.  If your APs are re-provisioning every eight
hours, what is your DHCP lease time?  Are you sure the APs are able to
renew their leases (if not, could your scope be full)?  Do you see the
IP addresses on the APs changing when they come back up?  These could
indicate a DHCP server issue.  If the AP gets a new IP address it will
likely have to be re-adopted to the controller.  You might want to
static address one or more APs to test this theory.
