  • 1.  IAP - Factory reset or clear startup-config via SSH

    Posted Aug 12, 2013 06:44 AM

    Hi,

     

    I would like to know if its possible to factory reset or remove the saved config of an IAP that's part of an existing cluster.

    I don't have physical access to the device and I would like it to wipe the config and re-join the cluster.

     

    Is this possible?

     

    Thanks

    here u go:  :smileyvery-happy:

    GUI Method.  

    • Click on "Maintenance" and go to the "Convert" tab.  
    • In the dropdown for "Convert one or more APs to" choose "Standalone AP".  
    • Pick the one you want.  
    • This will gracefully exit the IAP from the VC cluster.

     

    Console method.  

    • You need a the console cable that came in the IAP box.   (USB type A to type A).
    •  You need the USB console driver from the Aruba support site.
    • Connect the IAP to your favorite terminal program.
    • Log in with your configured ID/PW.
    • type "reload" and watch it reboot
    • right after the POST finishes, it gives you a 2 second timer to press enter to abort.  Press enter.
    • at the "apboot>" prompt type:
    • "purgeenv"
    • "clear os"
    • "save"
    • then reboot the AP.   this is functionally equivalent to pressing the reset button on the other units
