    Posted Nov 27, 2023 04:48 AM

    Hi we have almost 3000 aruba 515 AP's connected to 






    Model
    Aruba7210
    Boot partition
    ArubaOS 8.6.0.17_83573
    Backup partition
    ArubaOS 8.6.0.16_83052

    V8.6

    Here is just one example of an AP rebooting and bootstrapping.

    140.195.94.150

    SP.1.6.P.G

    AP Name

    XXXXXXXXXXXX

    AP IP

    APG-BROM-SP

    AP Group

    515

    Model

    Up

    Status

    xxxxxxxxxxx

    Controller IP

    6688

    No of Reboots

    9

    No of Bootstraps 

    223 days, 21:42:13.00

    Up time

     

    So my questions. Why would the AP's be rebooting so many times?

    What does bootstrapping mean in simple terms?

    Is there a SNMP OID to identify the switch IP the AP is connected to?

    And is there a SNMP OID to show which SSID's the AP is broadcasting?

    Thank you.

    APs bootstrapping is a fairly common reference in known bugs for release notes, I would check the release notes for your version 8.6.0.17 to see if anything stands out. The AP itself doesn't support SNMP, but you can find the info you asked for from the AAC's CLI - 

    "show ap lldp neighbor ap-name <ap-name>"  to show the switch / port it's connected

    "show ap bss-table ap-name <ap-name>" to show the SSIDs being broadcast from the AP

    Rebootstrapping is the AP failing over to another mobility gateway most of the time.
