  • 1.  Copying the Configuration of an Instant Access to a template

    Posted Apr 02, 2015 01:14 PM

    I cannot connected an IAP to my network so i made a small little side network that has no access to anything. It is just a laptop, dumb switch, and an IAP. I want to setup an IAP 225 with all of my standard stuff and then copy the config off. Then i wish to send the config up to another IAP, same model, over console. I cannot find any documentation on how to copy the config off through the console or what commands to run to send it to a factory defauly IAP through the console. Can someone point me towards the documentation?

    Hi,

     

    It is possible, just follow the following steps,

     

    Step 1 : Connect your laptop to the IAP over one of the SSID or connect the laptop to the same subnet and take the webui.

    Step 2 : Select maintenance-->Configuration

    Step 3 : Click on "Backup Configuration", it will download the configuration file into your laptop with a name "Instant.cfg"

    Step 4 : Similarly take the WebUI of the IAP to which you want to copy the same config.

    Stap 5 : Select Maintenance-->Configuration

    Step 6 : Click on "Restore Configuration", it will ask for the config file for restoring now select "instant.cfg" which was downloaded into your laptop.

    Just follow above 6 steps to meet your requirement :)

     

    Please feel free for any further help on this.

    I would really like to do this through the console. I logged into the web interface and setup an Aruba just the way i wanted. I then hooked up to the console and was able to TFTP the config off of the device. I was able to make changed to the config and was able to push it back up to the device and see the changes. But i do not think it worked for one reason or another. More testing is needed.  I would like to do it all through the console. The aruba "instant" ssid takes forever to come up and a few other things.

     

    My test steps so far:

    1. Get onto the same network as the aruba 169.254.17.X (aruba) 169.254.17.X+1 (my laptop)

    2. TFTP the config off of the device

    3. make changes to the config

    4. Factory restory the device

    5. TFTP the config back to the device

     

    What i want to happen after my testing

    1. Get onto the same network as the aruba 169.254.17.X (aruba) 169.254.17.X+1 (my laptop)

    2. Make changes to the standard template

    3. TFTP the config to the device

     

    I'll update when i am finished with the results.

    step 3. reboot

    step 4. log into physic device ip address

    step 5. update the configuration through the maintenance screen.
