ap-regroup provisioning fails

    Hi there,

     

    I am struggling with this problem for a while now.

     

    We have some IAP205 and 115. I converted them, so our 3400 Controller can manage them.

     

    The conversion works, the controller can adress the APs. 

    I created a new AP-Group.

     

    Under "Configuration -> Wireless -> AP Installation" I provision them with the new AP-Group and click on "Apply and reboot".

     

    But after the reboot they are still in den "default" AP-group. I tried it with the wizard and on cli as well. Same results: Still default group.

     

    What are the reasons for this cause?

     

    best regards,

    mg

    Are the APs in the Campus AP whitelist?

    Yeah, they are whitelisted. But I found the Problem, why it was not working:

    The APs had spaces in their names. On Controller-CLI the DB clearence was also not possible. I had to reset the APs and Controller.

    After Setting names without a space, the provisioning worked instant after reboot.

    I'm asking myself why the controller even allows that.

    Hey, you can clear AP's with spaces in their names using the "XXX" either side. This command works for any references which might have a space in them.

    e.g

     

    #clear gap-db "AP name"

or 

#show wlan  virtual-ap "virtual ap"
