Controllerless Networks

I have an IAP-225 running in Standalone mode and the Instant SSID isn't coming up. Both radio LEDs are staying amber as well. 

 

I'm setting it up for a site survey.

 

Also have the exact same issue on an IAP-224 that has a valid SSID configured.

 

Boot and config are attached. 

 

Any ideas?

It is not getting an ip address from the DHCP server.

It is saying that in the log, but I gave it a static address in the apboot menu, saved it, verified and booted.

You need to configure a subnet mask and a default gateway, as well.

 Did you configure "work without uplink" on the SSID?  Please look at the thread here: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Unified-Wired-Wireless-Access/Site-Survey-with-IAP-Manual/td-p/57274/page/2

I did. Will try setting a default gateway.

Added default gateway and still same results:

However, when I purged it, set the ip/subnet/gw and booted - it did not search for an ip. 

 

Though when I configured it for Standalone, "work-without-uplink", and rebooted it went back to searching for an ip on the boot. 

Hi, 

 

subnetmask=255.255.255.0
defaultgw=192.168.1.1 

 

The static subnetmask and default GW are not set with proper commands. Please try the commands in the below link, 

http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/InstantHTML/Content/Chapter2%20InitialConfiguration/AssigninganIP.htm 

 

Thanks, 

Rajaguru Vincent 

Fixing the subnet mask and default gateway commands didn't fix it. 

 

However, I was able to fix it. Even though I went in and booted in Standalone AND added the "work-without-uplink" command, it still wouldn't broadcast instant without an uplink. Once I plugged my laptop into the "Data In" port of the PoE injector - voila, it starts broadcasting instant. 

 

Went ahead and configured my new WLAN, uncecked the "Disable if no uplink" box, and rebooted without the uplink. Working as it should.

 

Thanks for the help!
