While supporting the NYC Marathon on miles 15.5 through mile 17, I deploy 8 AREDN nodes every year to send video streams to both race control and to One Police Plaza. This year I ran into a hiccup. While upgrading all the nodes from their Nightly builds to the 3.24.10 release, I bricked a MikroTik SXTsq5HPnD by forcing the wrong firmware onto it using WinSCP & SSH. (I later discovered that I had two identically named directories, and chose the wrong one; so ends my days as a firmware version hoarder).
Anyways, I replaced the bricked dish with a MikroTik SXTsqG-5acD, and everything went as expected installing 3.24.10 - with the exception that the only way I can access this local node is by RF back from another node. I've verified physical connectivity to port 5 of a MikroTik hAP ac lite, and 2 different MikroTik hAP ac2s. Nothing has been added or changed regarding the default VLAN configurations. I know DTD traffic is on VLAN2. I've used different patch cables, and when on port 5 of the hAP ac lite, tried both using the pass-through PoE and 2 different PoE injectors, and used those PoE injectors while connected to port 5 on the hAP ac2s.
I've blown away the configuration an reinstalled twice now.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I've searched these forums and on Reddit, but I only found one similar, unanswered problem. While everything points to a VLAN issue to me, I'm stuck. I'd like a second pair of eyes. In the SXTsqG5-acD screenshot, I can see the node I'm directly attached to under Local Nodes, but mousing over it indicates "Link status: idle". I have aphasia, so cut me a little slack if the answer is obvious.
