I'm trying to clear some fog out here...
Due to equipment recommended by Aruba I am now replacing RAP5 with RAP3s in some regions. I am now attempting to convert the IAP3 to a RAP3 and running into some issues.
- Is it necessary to upgrade from 6.1.X to 6.2.X to do the conversion?
- Is there a way to do the conversion without a controller? (tools, tips, tricks)
- Would it then be possible to connect to a 6.1.X controller once it's a RAP3?
- I do not see 6.2 in the GA folder yet, I can't upgrade my production controllers until it's a suported GA release. Is there a target date? Or am I missing the GA release in the folder structure somewhere? (I admit I may not looking in the right place)
I thought I was making progress with the RAP3 after working through some of the VPN setup troubleshooting to get it to talk to my controller, but have hit a wall with authentication. Now that I've come across notes refering to the controller release should be at 6.2.X, I'm considering that this is a possible reason for the excessive issues.
I was really hoping that the RAP3's would be as easy as my white-list RAP5s that have been running like champs.
Any thoughts or confirmation of my understanding around the software release requirements will be greatly appreciated. Just feeling a little lost on this new and obviously very powerful little device that I need to act as a simple RAP.
Thanks in advance!
