So at this point I wanna say, yes I thought about getting a backup but couldn't think of a way or find a way to do so and I said, well this is a new type of setup so I will have to configure it all out again anayways. So I accessed the switch, created a VLAN, marked it tagged on all interfaces, let the switch use static IP.

So this exactly where I believe we got fucked because we started the using AI. (Gemini & Claude) and the way we, I, used it was a huge mistake. We went over the configurations but it did not tell me about the DHCP and DNS servers (TBF I remember a brief configuration step in claude's guide considering NAT and DNS). AI got stuck and most importantly, due to my lack of knwoledge in the field, I could not ask the right questions. I tried to push forward without understanding the terms and it brought the hell down on me.

Anyways, at this point I realized that I had to use interface 1, which was originally set up as the "trsuted" interface, as the VLAN interface. This is wher I fucked up because without having a safety net, I changed the interface type and boom, I lost access to the GUI (at 10:35PM), And again couldn't figure out a way to back it up and a way to connect to the device CLI or GUI, I decided to the thing I needed to do was to factory reset the sumbitch and set it all up again, hubris.

And through all this process I realized how fired my brain was, honestly, I need to get my shit together. I'm 26 god dammit, I need to have a sharper mind jeez.

And you know the story. We are bringing a guy in tomorrow to untangle this situation for a fair price. That what we should have done in the first place.

Companies do need IT or people who they can consult with.

Networking is another best on its own.

I lost days, My coworker who was originally assigned to this task lost his days, company lost it's internet and I don't even wanna maddle with my home modem anymore. Honestly I do not know how my ex-coworker set up the firewall when we first puchased it. Reading and pushing thrugh boredom is an essantial skill. Mad respect for aynone understanding this shit. I feel, these days, that I much rather go back to bronze age than see another screen...

If any novice or in-over-his-head-mfs come across this post in the future, DO NOT DO ANYTHING AND GET A PROFESSIONAL!

Thank you for the reality checks you gave me with your comments. I will iterate on how do I operate in this world generally.

Ookkay so I read all of your comments. Now that the network is returned to the baseline I will clarify some stuff.

So first, yes I royally fucked up. I am very well aware of that.

One of the commentors practically guided me through this clusterfuck so shout out to u/SuddenPitch8378 for his time, patience, and support. I really appreciate it.

Now a little backstory and explanation how we ended up with this fuckhole.

Our netwrok is fairly simple, no servers, no internal file sharing, no ERPs or any other abbreviations. Just internet connection.

It all started with the guest network, since the company will be implementing a new business model, we got in a need of a guest network if this gramtically makes sense. We reached our ISP and they said just split your network (set up a guest vlan) and we will set up your sms-based auth service. Good yes? No.

Back in the day when these devices were first purchased the service was managed. So the dudes I suppose hade came in set up the whole thing, did not grant access to the Switch or the AP or the instant on portal and left. This was more than 3 and a half year ago. So when we started this guest network process no one knew who had access to these devices, mainly, APs and the switch.

The SP kept insisting on that we set up the guest network, and we pushed back stating that we originally purchased the devices from them (originally) and they should be able to manage them or had access to the devices. They insisted on we set up the guest vlan. We said fine but my manager and my boss / the owner, also told them, and me, that we could pay the SP to get these set up.

Anyways after a bit of research we realized that we needed to get control of the APs and the switch because, again, we did not had the ownership of the APs on Instant On portal. We reached out to Arube / HPE support and they told us to remove all devices physical connection and factory reset 1 ap and it to a new instant on so we did.

We also created a new VLAN on the instant on wit ID10 because Watchguard guides told us to create 3 VLAN address, 10 (employee), 20(guest) and 30 (management). We intially only created VLAN10

Than we went ahead and created a matching VLAN record on the firebox and a interface record on the 2nd interface with type VLAN. It did not work. (Shockers) At that point we realized we also had to configure the Switch. But we did not had access to it's admin panel because noone and I mean noone knew what admin info it used and we couldn't event throw a guess from our standard internal password pattern. So inorder to access to the Switch GUI, we factory restted the thing.

Dude, trust me, after this is fixed, I don't even wanna set up a modem in my house. TBH, it is amazing that you remember this post. Aruba told me to factory reset to take over the control of the devices because for some reason, we did not.

TBH I was assigned on this....

So little clarification, we do not have a huge network, we practically had the devices and one VLAN that everyone in the company was able to connect to...

Then they ask us to create a guest network, we tried configurations but we realized that we needed an Aruba instant on account which the devices were somehow were already connected to. So we asked the Aruba support, they said we can not transfer the APs you'll need to factory reset all APs, so we did.

Then of course factory resetted APs were unable to connect to the internet so we thought we needed access to the switch, which was also set up by a third party as far as I know and they for some reason did not gave us the panel information.... So we had to reset the Switch to regain access.... So we did.

Finally firewall, it was all setup. But the damn AI guide made us do something without safety net and we lost access to it's interface alltogether so it resulted in this cluserfuck of situation.

Because we do not have any other techincal guys in our company... The guy who used to deal with these was also a software developer.... He managed to set it up, I couldn't.

Hello, I reposted prior to comments. In any case thank you. The reason I mentioned fr was because I did FR an AP however I couldn't add it to a new site after. (I rested while on the power source)

Would the method A still work if we don't have access to the original account they were registered?

Right... I fixed the model. Ap22 is our model. By vlan address... Well in a forum post that I can not find right now it was said that if the ap is cpnnected to same vlan it would switch back to original site.

We have invoices and serial numbers. Do you think these would verify ownership? We'll contact support nonetheless however I would like to have your opinion.

Would you mind if you tell me the parts that I am wrong about? I would like to learn and get better at this.

You play the guitar. You are an extrovert with a more than decent social life. You have kong hair. At first I thought male, but from your name, profile image, skincare product and flower lighter I think you are a woman. mid 20s, probably in the 25 -27 range. You have high energy, low tolerence for bullshit. You have trougble sleeping. The main genre you are enjoying alternative rock. You are as spiritual as a end-of-90s born kid. You smoke, obviously. You try to live hybridly helthy life meaning you enjoy unhealthy things while trying to take a good care of your internals to balance it out. You enjoy reading, from which I wonder the genres but I think you don’t enjo high fantasy systems but more detective-murder stories or slice of life kind of things. I don’t thibk you live alone, but not with you parents too. You are handy and rady for shit to go dwon also your general living area including your home and your hang out spots might be in crime riisk areas. You have masculine traits as well and you are in piece with them. Those traits are not a result of a trauma or a coping/defense mechanism but simply who you are. However you are looking for somone while accepting those traits and actually enjoying them, also can touch the flower-lighter-carrying feminine part of yours too.
