Aruba AP 105 keep rebooting

    Posted Oct 23, 2014 01:04 PM

    HI,

    i'm trying to work with Aruba AP 105 model.

    i've connected it to the Aruba controller, using these commands:

     

    pboot> purgeenv
    Un-Protected 1 sectors
    .done
    Erased 1 sectors
    Writing 
    apboot> set master <controller-ip>
    apboot> set serverip <controller-ip>
    apboot> set bootcmd tftpboot
    apboot> save
    Saving Environment to Flash...
    Un-Protected 1 sectors
    apboot> boot

     

    but after that the AP can't come up - it's in a loop of reboots and the console output is:

    any idea what went wrong?

    just a note: i've managed once to add it to the controller using the above commands. 

    (the controller showed the AP in the AP list)

    but when i changed the AP name (in the controller under Configuration -> AP Installation) the AP got stuck in the reboot loop..

    when i retried to attach the AP to the controller i got again the reboot loop..

     

    thanks for any help :)

    thanks!it works now.

    but i still have some reboots from time to time withe this reason:

    Reboot requested by controller shutting down watchdog process (many will restart it)

     

    how can i disable it? so i won't have these reboots all the time?

     

    thanks!
