    Hi!

     

    let's say I have one specific problematic AP which disconnects always after 10 seconds and this repeats forewer.

    I;ve eliminated all other possibilities so only one remains - data stored in controller DB.

     

    What is the propper way to clear this DB?

     

    Assuming I have some RAP whaitelists so I can't just delete all.

     

    Thanks,

                V.D.

    What are you trying to accomplish, to remove the record of the access point?

    OK, so I have controller with 300+ day uptime and problem with a specific AP of many.

    I've eliminated all other possibilities and problem persists after restart of AP and a controller.

     

    So naturally I suspect there is something stored in controler. But it is not in startup-config, because there are no AP-specific config data.

    That leaves me with only one suspect - controler DB, where all the ARM/IDS/history data must be stored.

    So how do I clear this DB? (for testing purposes).

     

    Thanks,

    Do you know where the problem access point is located?  Can you take it off the network as a test?

    I would not think this is a database issue.

    I think you need to ge the output of 'show ap tech-support <ap-name>' and see what the reboot reason is as reported under 'show ap system-status' and start the investigation from there.

     

     

    if you do want to clear the entry from the controller the command is;

     


    (Aruba650) #clear gap-db ap-name ?
    <ap-name>               AP name

     

     This will remove the AP from 'show ap database' and from the monitor summary. (until the AP connects again)
