AP-277 Minimum OS version

  • 1.  AP-277 Minimum OS version

    Posted Jun 20, 2017 06:43 AM

    Hello,

     

    Data Sheet for AP-270 Series Access Points is stating that AP-277 requires minimum 6.4.3 ArubaOS to work. 

     

    What are limitations of provisioning it on controller running lower version of OS (6.4.2.8, for example)? Thanks.

     

     

    Regards,

    NesaM

    Anything lower does not have an image for that AP and it will not work.

    Hi NesaM, We ran into that issue with the AP-277 and AP-205H on coincidentally the same version you're running. As Colin said, it won't work. The AP won't ever reach the provisioning stage or even show up in the GUI - you will however see an error log on the discovered master controller along the lines of "minimum firmware not met" and the AP will eventually reboot due to not finding a suitable controller and continue to "appear" to never show up on the controller. As a temporary measure, we statically assigned the one needed AP-277 to our test controller running the 6.4.3 code via console cable. We then ran a separate pair of controllers for the part of campus that needed 205Hs - we're finally planning on consolidating our controllers back to a single master for ArubaOS 8.
