New to Central, APs not appearing in Network Operations

  • 1.  New to Central, APs not appearing in Network Operations

    Posted Jan 03, 2022 11:09 AM
    So I have added licenses, I have added devices using S/N and MAC, I have assigned licenses. However, the APs do not appear in Network Operations. This is a brand new Central instance. What am I missing here? The APs themselves have connectivity to the Internet.

    Thanks!

    What model of AP's are you using?

    When you add your devices and assigned a license to it, they should be appear in the default device group "Unprovisioned devices".
    Which can be found under Global > Groups Settings. Move them to a new created device group for access points.

    Your AP's should be able to connect the internet and can reach out to activate.arubanetworks.com

    Possible check your firewall. If all things are double checked i would recommend to call TAC support.

    if you have access to the IAP then from CLI you can rung this command to see the status of Activate
    "show activate"

    Have you assigned the licenses to your APs as well? Adding them to Central is step 1 to make them available, then under account home / License assignment, the licenses need to be assigned to the devices in your inventory.
