We had a cable on a tower that had come loose in some strong winds and
rubbed through the jacket probably shorting out a bunch of wires inside
the cat5 (not actually breaking). Remarkably, the Ethernet port on the
mikrotik was still negotiating 1G, even through there was no RX Traffic
from the AP. When we got the cable fixed, the EPMP AP (1000 series)
appears to be at default settings, but I can't log into it. The Login
page comes up, but it returns invalid user/password. I'm trying
admin/admin. The AP is at it's default name in a Neighbor list, and
it's requesting a DHCP Address which is not how it was before the cable
problem. SSH doesn't allow login either. Tried setting the AP to
different IP Addresses via DHCP, and can always get to the HTTP Page,
but can't log in.
We tried doing the default via power sequence on the tower before
replacing it, and that didn't seem to help. (Of course there's no way to
see if it actually worked either) Is there anything I should look at
before trying a reset via the reset button on the bench?
When we first got the cable replaced, the AP grabbed a public DHCP
Address, Could it have been hacked in the 10 minutes it was on that
public IP Address? Are there cambium scanning bots flying around the
interwebs. Or do the SSH Commands for login and changing the password
match some other bot scan.
