Errors msg IN AP

[Ibrahim Jamil]

Hi Received the below message from the AP 1200

The system has been encountered an error initializing
ethernet port. You may need to check hardware
The system is ignoring the error and continuing boot.
If you interrupt the system boot process, the following
commands will reinitialize ethernet, tftp, and finish
loading the operating system software:

    ether_init
ether_init
    tftp_init
    boot

Also it hang  at the below line thus am not able to access the CLI

*Mar  1 00:00:40.707: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface BVI1, changed state to up

Thanks

Hi,

make sure you are using the right console cable and on the hyperterminal use the restore defaults settings.. if we are still facing the issue.. then this is a hardware problem and needs to be replaced..

lemme know if this answered your question..

Ibrahim,

I have experienced this error before and it is indeed a hardware error and it hangs on that line in the console session because of the hardware error.  you will need to replace or have the unit repaired.

Hope that helps,

Scott

hi scott maybe its hang here bocoz no antena on ap and no ethernet connection,maybe becoz of that?

[Surendra BG]

No.. there is some problem with the hardware.. if the Antennas and the Ethernet are not connected we do not face this issue.. AFAIK ..

Ibrahim,

No, it won't hang at all for no antenna or no ethernet connection.  It is definitely because of that init error.  And that is definitley a hardware problem with the ehternet port that ehternet init is the self test for the ethernet port when the radio powers up if it fails it will hang.  The only way I know to get it repaired is to call TAC.

Sorry my friend,

Scott
