Still looking for feedback on 3.17.1.0RC1?
Not sure if you are still looking for feedback on the RC release (and if indeed this is the right way to do it).
I prototyped our network deployment (5 GHz backbone with 2.4GHz distribution & access), which involved 3.17.1RC1 on the following hardware:
- Rocket M5 XW
- Rocket M2
- PBE-M2-400
- NSM2
- NSM5 XW
- AirRouter
Also set up a tunnel server on the PBE-M2-400 with tunnel clients on an NSM5 and an AirRouter. Internet gateway is enabled on the PBE-M2-400.
Just a prototype at the moment, but so far no major issues either in setup or operation. (The one issue I did encounter was after flashing the AirRouter to 3.17.1RC1 I was not able to get a DHCP IP address on port 4. I switched to switch port 1 and it worked fine. Not sure if this how it is designed, a bug, or I was just too impatient when using port 4.)

Your issue on port 4 is that it is used for DTD (Device-To-Device) connections to other AREDN nodes. You can attach your computers, etc to ports 1-3 for DHCP service. Use port 4 for connecting only to other AREDN flashed devices like a Nanostation, Rocket, Nanobridge on a tower or mast up in the air.
