Aruba IAP virtual controller is being managed by Central

    Posted Jun 14, 2023 01:57 PM

    Good Day, 

    Any assistance please, we've connected 2 new Aruba 515 IAP's today at a new branch we've setup, for some reason after connecting the AP's and logging in to the IAP virtual controller we noticed the controller was automatically being managed by Central and not Airwave, we do not have Central in our environment, we make use of Airwave to monitor our AP's and switches. When connecting the the AP's we would log in to the controller and point the controller to connect to Airwave, but for some reason the controller was already being managed by Central which is weird. I have tried factory resetting the AP's but when reconnecting them again and logging in it still shows the controller is being managed by Central. We have several branches where we have the same AP's connected and being managed by Airwave and not experiencing this issue, today was the first time experiencing this. Please see attached. Thanks

    that should not happen, but i suggest to factory reset the APs in an isolated VLAN

    then SSH to the VC and through the configuration mode, use this command

    "activate-disable"

    then exit the configuration mode and save it with "commit apply"
