Device is using a DHCP IP address from VLAN 1 instead of using configured Mgmt VLAN X

Hi, 

 

I am having trouble figuring out why one of the AP (MR44) shows the LAN IP config as native VLAN 1 IP address when the type is selected as DHCP with the appropriate VLAN number. All APs are tagged to VLAN 1000. Below is the error

There is one more AP (MR 44) with the same LAN IP configuration as above connected to the same switch & it doesn't give any error.

 

 

Below switch port config is of the AP that gives the DHCP error

Switch port config of AP that is working without any error (connected on the same switch) This AP gets the appropriate MGMT IP

Is there any config change that i am missing or should i go ahead & reboot the AP. Would that work. How do i tshoot this issue & get it resolved. Please suggest.

 

Note - The AP & switch both are Meraki

You have to set the VLAN o MR.

I tried that on the MR as well but it doesn't work. Will i have to reboot the AP for it to work. May be a glitch.

 

The strange part is other MRs do not give any error & the switch port config as shown above is VLAN 1 & still get the IP address from DHCP.

 

Not sure whats causing this issue.

Hi, 

 

The config on the MR & the switch port were fine. The issue was with the DHCP Scope. It had to be expanded which is handled by a different vendor.

But this article helped me to understand in case such an issue arises again.
