Controllerless Networks

Hello,

 

I have iap 205, recently i bought iap 305. and i wanted him be the master. so i enter to 305 and then choose preferd as a master. and reboot the AP. 

after it i access to 205. verified that prefred as a master is disabled. 

then i reboot him. then i type iap 205 ip address. and it redirect me to iap 305. but when i log on to 305. i see only 1 AP the 305. and not also 205.

what could be the problem?

 

Thanks

Are they running the same IAP version?

You mean Firmware?

If firmware, No they have diffrent firmware but up-to-date.

 

 

You'll want them on the same firmware version if you want them to cluster.

Hi,

 

Thank you for your answers.

But how they can be the same firmware. 

if one device model 205 and second 305?

 

Thanks

Make sure both are running the same version. For the IAP 205 the latest release is 6.5.4.x. Both need to run this version.

Connect IAP 205
Upgrade to version 6.5.4.x
Disconnect IAP 205 and connect 305
Upgrade to version 6.5.4.x
Connect both devices

I suggest you to make the 305 the VC.
The firmware can be download trough the ASP portal, https://asp.arubanetworks.com

Hi willembargeman,

 

I did as you write. 

and now  205 not accepting my password.

i also logged in to 305. and i dont see 205 in access point list.

What else can be the problem?

 

Thanks

Are you sure both running the same version?
Can you access the 205 when the 305 is not connected?

yes, they running same version.

i tried to disconnect 305 and then access to 205. 

unfortunately 205 not  accepting my password. 

the strange thing is when i restart 305. after few second 205 also restarting himself also. Even though I can not choose him.

 

 

Do you have exactly the same trunk port settings for the IAP? Both Instants will need to be running firmware Aruba InstantOS 4.3.1.0 at a minimum. Do you also have auto-join enabled on the VC?

Both AP on same vlan, 

they have same firmware  - 6.5.4.3_61959.

Where i have option of - auto-join?

 

Thanks

You will find it under here :

Hi Craig,

 

They on the same vlan, 

Also they running same firmware - 6.5.4.3_61959.

Where can i find this option?

 

i noticed now. that i able to access to AP 205 from cli. but from web 205 not accepting my password.

Yes, Auto join mode is enable

 If you can access the CLI of the VC, check the APs have joined in the first instance.

 

#show aps

I see only VC AP

Can you attach a tech support of both the 205 and 305?
