Q:

APAS provision failed, code: protocol-error-001 in Instant AP

By default, IAPs contact device.arubanetworks.com and when there is no rule configured in Aruba Activate we could see the fail-prov-no-rule. 

We would see the below error message in "show log system" of the Instant AP.

If the device is not managed by Aruba Central, then we can syslog-level for system as critical which would stop these messages in show log system. 

From Cli: 

syslog-level critical system

From Web UI:

We need to navigate to system > show advanced options > Monitoring > Syslog Facility Levels > Set the system to critical.
