Attempting to rename "Aruba_Basement" to "WAP-Front".

Attempt 'Clear'.

Same name after boot.

Attempt from CLI.

Still named "Aruba_Basement".

I have no idea why this is happening.

Is it in the Campus AP whitelist?

Yes it was!

Here are the steps I took to clear it and rename the AP (for others that have this same issue):

Check Campus AP Whitelist.

'Delete' unneeded.

Wait for AP to show up with MAC and no name.

Select and 'Modify'.

Enter new name and description.

Wait for it to reprovision.  Success!

Thank you very much for the quick reply and soluition!
