Hi there,
I work in our test department, and am currently tasked with setting up an Aruba AP with a Controller, for interoperability testing. However, I've never set up an Enterprise AP before. Ultimately, what I'd like to be able to do, is change the APs security and authentication methods, and make sure that we're still able to connect properly for all of them.
So - I've purchased an Aruba 3200XM Controller, and an Aruba APIN0225 AP, but am having some issues getting things working, and also have some questions once I do.
I've tried following the instructions that came with the AP and controller, but keep running into issues.
I've upgraded the Aruba OS - OS 6.4.3.6 - on the controller, and had that propogate down to the AP.
In the process of doing this, I did tell it to erase settings on the controller and AP. I mention this in case there's some license I'm supposed to have that I don't.
I've also now changed both ip addresses, so that they're getting their addresses via dhcp. I've veririfed that I can ping both the controller and the AP from a laptop plugged into the same network - and I can also use the WebUI for the controller on that laptop.
It looks like the AP is rebooting about every 10 minutes. I have the printouts from the console, which I'll attach at the end of the message. It's being rebooted by the Controller:
AP rebooted Thu Feb 18 07:22:27 PST 2016; SAPD: Reboot requested by controller
But I'm not sure why. I tried searching the forums, and found some advice to try starting with "show ap debug counters" - but that doesn't seem to have gotten me anything useful...
(Aruba3200) #show ap debug counters

Total APs :1
Using the GUI, if I go to the dashboard, and click on "Access Points" - it says no matches found. However, in the upper left there's a link that says "Access Points (1)" - clicking on that shows the AP - and that its status is up, and it is provisioned, and is in Campus Mode, and in the default group. (scrren shots attached)
And.. this is about where I'm stuck. About every 10 minutes, the AP reboots, and I'm not sure why. I've tried running the wizard on the AP, but even when its up between reboots, I'm not finding it in wireless scans to try to connect to it. Do I need to have any special licenses to try to set up AAA Fast Connections? I'd figured it would be better to start with those before hooking up a radius server, because I'm also not really familiar with how radius servers work, but if I need to buy licenses for any of those to work, that's probably not a great idea. Are there supposed to be any licenses on the machine by default that I may have accidentally wiped out?
But first things first - I need to lick the reboot problem. f there's any additional information that you need from me, please let me know.. Thanks...
Here's the console ouput:
