Correct way to change role for WLAN(SSID)?

    Posted Sep 19, 2018 04:37 AM

    Hello,

     

    I recently "screwed up" change a role for a WLAN(SSID), so i was wondering how to do this with success?

     

    I tried to change it at; Mobility(top level for both controllers) controller=>Configuration=>Wlans=>"WLANXX"=>Access and then change the "Default Role". 

     

    However, clients are still stuck on the old role, even after a reboot of the controller. 

    Where am I failing?

     

    AMC 8.2.1.0 (In VRRP)

     

    Best regards,

    1.  You should not have to reboot the controller for anything besides a change in firmware.

     

    If you make a change, you should be able to disconnect clients on the commandline of that MD (controller) using "aaa user delete":

     

    (aruba7640) #aaa user delete 
    all                     Delete all users. Can take upto 5 mins if there are
                            large number of users getting deleted
    ap-ip-addr              Match AP IP address
    ap-name                 Match AP name
    mac                     Match MAC address
    name                    Match user name
    role                    Match role name
    A.B.C.D                 Match IP address

    If you rebooted the controller and clients are still stuck in the wrong role, you made the wrong change.

    Thanks,

    So ‘aaa uset delete’ just kicks them off the ap’s and force the clients to re-autenticate?
