Description

Steps

  • Upgraded firmware to version 4.3.13
  • Configured them via unifi network
  • Connect them to an IPv6 only network

Result

  • Access point turn off the radio shortly after booting
    • Tested via "wpa_cli -i wlan0 scan" on computers nearby
    • This does not happen if the AP gets an IPv4 address via dhcp

Source of problem

It seems that the uplink-monitor fails to detect the IPv6 uplink and according to https://community.ui.com/questions/UniFi-Controller-Connectivity-Monitor/630191eb-b6a1-4354-898b-610211197414 if there is no uplink, the radios are disabled.

Further issues

  • It seems /etc/resolv.conf is empty
    • this might be, because rdnssd is not running

Debugging further:

ubnt-lr-1-BZ.v4.3.13# ps w | grep hostap

 1381 ubnt      6164 S    /usr/sbin/hostapd -d -s /etc/aaa3.cfg

It has a record of an own ip, which it actually set it up.

In the log this message might be the reason why the radio is turned off:
