Wireless Access

Hi,

I try to restore a configuration file on a controller using FTP, TFTP or SCP. Always the same errors, the controller can't copy the file or it is directly connected to the server.

Any idea.

Thankx guys

Restoring a configuration is a three step process:

- Copy the file to the controller

- Set the boot config to that file

- Reboot.

Hi,

I know this. I said that i have a problem with COPYING the file on the controller. The server (TFTP, FTP, SCP) is directly connected to the controller. However it doesn't copy it saying that there a problem of timeout!!!

Thankx

Ok.  Well we have to apply the rules of networking, then:

Can the controller and the SCP/TFTP server ping each other?

Hi,

Yes ping Ok

HTTP OK

Thankx.

I hate to say it, but this is a networking issue.  If you do not have your client running or you have your firewall on your host/laptop it is not going to work.  If you have already established that the controller and the host can ping each other, it is a networking issue, NOT an Aruba issue...

It is strange. Because if it is really a network issue at this moment they can't ping each other !!! I looked for the firewall hosted in the server it is already stopped !!

Thank you anyway.

Have you ever used TFTP on that server before?  Can you use the "netstat -an" command on the server to see if there is traffic coming from the controller?

Yes i used this TFTP server Before. No there are no TFTP traffic coming from the controller. Does it may depend of the firewall on the controller it self?

Thankx

By default there is no firewall stopping traffic to and from the controller.

Is the server and the controller on the same subnet?  Is there a device that could be blocking the traffic between them?

The controller and the server are in the same Subnet. The server is directly connected to the controller. It is a spare controller. Our production one is down. So i get the backup and i want to put it on the controller. Every thing is ok except FTP, TFTP and SCP trafic are blocked by who i don't know. I disabled the firewall and the Anti-virus because i though it may come from them. But i still have the same problem.

Thank you

is it not possible to douwnload a file directly from a PC to the controller via HTTP?

No, you cannot upload it via HTTP.   

Other thoughts:

• Can you post the config of the port you are plugged into?
• What TFTP server are you using on your system?
• Can you confirm that TFTP is listening on TCP 69?   netstat -an
• Can you try another port on the controller?

Hi,

- I am connected to the port 1: It is a port trunk with native Vlan 1 : 10.1.10.0/24

- I changed the port. Same problem.

-Tftp server ! Tftpd64 on windows 7 prof.

Thnakx

Hi,

any luck? is it done ??

Thanks

Hi, just to not leave anything out. Is the port on the controller configured as trusted? I ask this because you say is directly connected. 

If the port configuration says untrusted change it to trusted and give it a try.

I hope this helps.
