Controllerless Networks

Hi All,

 

I have been trying to add a single Aruba IAP 105 to airwave. The IAP is located at my home and the airwave server is located at work. The airwave server is behind a firewall but has all https (port 443) traffic forwarded to it. I have added the airwave IP to the VC (Public IP) but the controller is not showing up in airwave. When I check the event log in airwave it shows multiple of the following logs:

-  Instant AP with IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (AP Info: XXXXXX, 9c:1c:12:xx:xx:xx, AP-105)PSK based authentication: swarm is not found in amp and trying to create.

 

Instant firmware : 6.4.2.6-4.1.1.12_53944

Airwave version : 8.2.0.1

 

Airwave - Instant authentication is set to PSK only and whitelist is off.

 

Any idea's on what might be causing this or how to fix it?

can you post from master IAP:

 

show log ap-debug

show log provision

show ap debug airwave

According to this I would check the shared secret. Either set it to something easy as a test or if other controllers connect to it then re-type it into the VC.

Thanks Joey,

 

I will give it a try on the VC side. As the controller isn't showing up on the Airwave side I can't change the shared secret on that side. 

 

Will let you know how I go.

Tried the more simple shared secret and that didn't work. I know I should have tried this earlier but I rebooted the Airwave server and it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help everyone.

Had the same issue today at the customer, your answer saved us a lot of time. A reboot of Airwave (8.2.10.1) did the trick.
