  • 1.  Connect AP-175P console via Internet (ssh putty...)

    Posted Jul 24, 2013 05:24 AM

    Hallo,

     

    We want to connect AP-175P on separate DSL network  from our office via Internet.

     

    Problem is, that AP isn't configured to connect to public IP of controller and isnt synced with cotroller..

    If I know public IP of AP (DHCP), could I connect via Putty to public IP with SSH port 22 for

    changing IP of controller on AP???

     

    Thank You

    NO.

    AP-175 can be accessible only via USB CONSOLE.

    U can't SSH to the AP unit..to the IP of the unit  (part of the basic security)

     

    regards.

    Thank You,

     

    Only way is to come to AP and change ip via console?

     

    Could I find some advance sheets about preconfiguring ap via console  (change controller discovery IP) ?

     

    Thank You

    Is this already being managed by a controller?  If so, you can "move" this AP to a different controller by re-provisioning it.  You can also change the IP (if it's static) as well by re-provisioning it.  

     

    If you prefer the console, reboot the AP while you are connected via console and interrupt the process.  At the "apboot>" prompt, issue the command "printenv".  You will see all the variables present.  To change one, use the command "setenv" along with the variable and values.  

     

    Then issue "save" and then "reboot"

    here u got all the needed info:

    http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Access-Points/printenv-command-on-AP-s/td-p/2420

    *If your AP is doing IPSEC (acting as RAP) using user&password u will not be able to configure it via console*

    ================


    apboot> printenv
    boardname=Mataro
    autostart=yes
    baudrate=9600
    bootdelay=2
    bootcmd=boot ap
    bootfile=mips.ari
    servername=aruba-master
    ethaddr=00:1a:1e:c1:f7:f8

    Aruba AP Variables
    ================
    General Variables:
    setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
    setenv netmask x.x.x.x
    setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x
    setenv master x.x.x.x
    setenv serverip x.x.x.x
    setenv location b.f.l
    setenv group xxxxxx

    Required without DNS or option 43:
    setenv master x.x.x.x
    setenv serverip x.x.x.x

    Required without DHCP:
    setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
    setenv netmask x.x.x.x
    setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x

    Required for RAP:

    setenv group
    setenv master x.x.x.x
    setenv serverip x.x.x.x
    setenv a_antenna 0

    setenv auto_prov_id 9
    setenv mesh_role 0

    Please, when possible, post some 'printenv' outputs from your AP to see more details. That helps to understand AP function.
