Somehow your ble radio is now working in scanning and beaconing mode. This is the only mode supported by the 3xx series AP's. That was probably the issue in your original configurations.

Thanks for your reply. Interestingly, I made no changes in the past few days and only turned off the Aruba AP. After I turned it on, the APB beaconing is working. Last week, I thought about rebooting the device may help before and I did the reboot, but still have the same issue. Looks like I just need to let the device to be quiet for some time, and it can fix the APB itself. That's really strange.

Hi,
I suggest to upgrade to Aruba Instant 8.10 or at least 8.9.
Without further details of your configuration it is hard to help you. Please provide some more details. Here are some troubleshooting commands.
Check IoT configuration applied to APshow ap debug ble-configCheck BLE table and radios:show ap debug ble-table allCheck IoT transport connection status:show ap debug ble-relay iot-profileshow ap debug ble-relay reportTroubleshoot IoT transport websocket log:show ap debug ble-relay ws-log <profile>Check IoT transport statistics e.g., for dropped messages:show ap debug ble-relay tag-report
To enable the IoT radio for BLE scanning & beaconing (the default and only supported by AP-3xx) should look like this:
iot radio-profile int-ble radio-mode bleiot use-radio-profile int-ble

I am setting up an Aruba IAP335 for forwarding IoT BLE beacons using WebSocket. I have set up a radio-profile and a transportProfile.
Aruba_ap1# show running-config | include iot
iot radio-profile test
iot transportProfile testprofile
iot use-radio-profile test
iot useTransportProfile testprofile
I also set up a WebSocket server and it can receive some messages forwarded by the AP. However, the message has no BLE data. Something like below
meta {
version: 1
access_token: "aabbccddee"
}
reporter {
name: "Aruba_ap1"
mac: "some mac address"
ipv4: "192.168.1.93"
hwType: "AP-335"
swVersion: "8.8.0.0-8.8.0.0-mm-dev"
swBuild: "77366"
time: 1655078649
}
Apparently the AP is not doing BLE scanning. I noticed the following setting "APB: Disabled" in the radio configuration. Even though I chose "Beaconing" it is still disabled.

Don't know if this is the root cause and how to solve it. Any suggestions? Thanks!
