Wireless Access

Hi there,

We are seting up a lab environment with an Aruba 3200 controller ArubaOS 6.3.1.7 and a new AP-105. When powerup, the AP keep rebooting with the message in subject.

Below is the log:

Hi Tim,

The issue has been resolved, the master ip was missing in the AP configuration.

Thank you for your help.

Regards,

Can you repost the link? it seems to be broken and I am having this issue with an AP325 right now. Thanks

Running ADP...

What discovery method are you using for your access point?

I believe I am using a DHCP alias: aruba-master

I am not the only admin to this system though, so someone may have enable ADP by accident. It is enabled on my master at the moment but I don't want to turn it off if it isnt the problem. 

Thanks

Jay

Do you mean DNS alias?  You should stop the AP at the apboot> prompt and type "dhcp" to see if it finds a controller.  If not, your network is not configured properly for discovery.

Yes sorry, I will try that and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Ok, so ADP is enabled on my master, disabled on the locals. I still see the same log on the console of the CLI. This is the first AP deployment in Latin America for us. the US APs work fine, but these keep going into that reboot loop.

Things to look for? the DNS alias pings @ my master address. 

At a loss here. AP reset didnt change results. 

What do you get when you type "dhcp" at the apboot> prompt?

I get this:

apboot>  

do you have a DNS entry for aruba-master.la.tech.cnb?

Yes, it points to the master and I have tested it from the vlan the APs are in, it responds as it should
