Spinning on this one for a while..

I plug a mAP lite in on eth1 to RB2011 eth10
and the lite will not bind to the IP offered to it from
the DHCP server on RB2011.. Just stays in lease offered state.

The mAP lite has been reset to fac default.

????

Describe what ROS version and firmware is being used on both ends. Maybe try another ethernet cable. Could you post RB2011 config? In terminal: /export hide-sensitive

RB2011 = 6.42.6
mAP lite = 6.40.8

Tried different cables, tried different mAP lites..
Still no go

I plug a windows laptop in and get an IP from DHCP server on RB2011 with no problems.
I plug the mAP-LiTe in and it does not get an IP from the DHCP server on RB2011

I plug the mAP-LiTe into vlan3 port (switch1 of RB2011) and gets an IP with no problem.....?
I plug the mAP-LiTe into port 9/10 (switch2 of RB2011) (no vlans) and it will not take the IP from DHCP server on RB2011....

Okay... final notes..

So backtracked my switch vlan stuff. Noticed that on switch2 vlan mode was enabled, even though I thought I had it disabled..
So through the ROS GUI I went into [Switch] and [Port] and reset [switch2 cpu] and in [vlan] removed port 9/10.
Through the GUI these change did NOT stick. I closed the switch view and then re-opened and the old settings were still there!
So I did it from the command line interface and everything stuck. Then rebuilt the DHCP server on ether 9/10 and plugged in the mAP-LiTe
and voila, it finally got an IP from the DHCP server on RB2011. Note to self and you; when in doubt, use command line for configuration changes.
