3851 for bidirectional User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Transport Control Protocol (TCP) traffic on that firewall. This port number is assigned to Arista Networks. Zero-configuration cannot work if multiple APs are set up to connect to multiple servers. In this case, the APs must be configured manually.
Install the Access Point 2. Mounting the AP on the bracket: Place the first mounting post on the rear-side of the AP on to the lower notch of the bracket. Rotate the AP such that the center mounting post fits in to the center notch on the bracket.
Use a compatible power adapter (Arista SKU: PWR-AP-W5) to power the AP. Warning: The C-460 AP is intended to be supplied with a UL-listed PoE power source suitable for use at 45ºC. The power output should meet LPS requirements or PS2, with a rating of 48V DC (1A minimum). The current supplied by PoE++ should be 850mA.
5. Log on to the server using ssh and run the get sensor list command. You will see a list of all Arista devices that are recognized by the server. Single Sign-On users can go to the Monitor tab in CloudVision Cognitive Unified Edge and check whether the access point is visible under the Monitor tab.
Content Filter between the AP and the Internet, ensure that the settings allow communication between the AP and Arista Cloud Services. • If your configuration requires you to specify an exact IP address or IP range for Arista Cloud Services, please contact support- campus@arista.com.
