ARUBA Airheads Community, can anyone shed some light on my problem please.
Hello to the Aruba Airheads Community.
I am a new user to this community and would like to post my query for help on configuring an Aruba 651 controller. So here goes.
I have a rather interesting dilemma which I am attempting to solve but which seems to be giving me all sorts of challenges
My objective here is to make an Aruba 651 Wireless Controller a Master controller on my network with a local controller role assigned to an AP 135
Currently, the wireless network consists of the following elements:
- Aruba 651 Controller
- (1) Aruba AP 135
- (2) Aruba AP 205H
- (1) Aruba Ap-85
- (1) Aruba Ap-65WB
The AP135 is currently acting as a Virtual Controller for the 2 AP 205’s. The 205’s are powered directly from the PoE switch built into the 651 controller. However, the controller doesn’t “see” them for whatever reason.
The AP-85 and AP-65WB are also plugged into the 651 controller but are also not seen by that controller or by the Virtual Controller in the AP135.
The 651 has 9 AP licenses and a PoE license.
Here is a summary of the license detail which were copied and pasted into a Word Doc with the necessary redactions. This represents the installed license count and details for that specific unit:

My question is, what am I doing wrong here that I am unable to see the AP’s currently in the network and transfer roles from the AP-135 to the 651?
Any help or ideas are appreciated.
Thanks
