We're investigating the possibility of using Airwave to partially provision (or fully manage) new switches that we bring into the network. We came across Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and followed this KB16.01 manual but have been struggling to get things to work. (Please keep in mind that I have not been fully trained on Airwave.)
I'm performing the ZTP tests on a factory-reset (`erase all`) 5406R with Airwave 8.2.2.1. Airwave has both a group and a folder called "AutoprovisionSwitches" for temporary placement. We're using VitalQIP as our DNS/DHCP servers. In a testing VLAN/subnet I have a Manual DHCP address set up and a testing DHCP Template assigned. Following the "Configure AirWave details in DHCP (preferred method)" section of the manual (pg. 270), the template has the following fields:
- Domain Name (15,dn): ourdomain.com
- Domain Name Server (6,ds): ourdns1.com; ourdns2.com
- Router (3,gw): 10.3.35.1
- Subnet Mask (1,sm): 255.255.255.0
- Vendor Specific Information (43,vs): AutoprovisionSwitches:AutoprovisionSwitches,<IP of Airwave>,<blank>
- Vendor Class Identifier (60,ck): ArubaInstantAP
The switch will boot, accept the DHCP address, but then will display the following in the logs:
I 02/13/17 16:41:48 05103 amp-server: AM1: received invalid AMP server details :
STAKFREESTAKFREESTAKFREESTAKFREESTAKAutoprovisionSwitches:Autoprovis
ionSwitches
0(admin, STAKFREESTAKFREESTAKFREESTAKFREESTAKFR
I'm not sure what to make of this. My first thought is that I had mispelled the folder and group, however I directly copy-pasted each value from Airwave. The IP matches what is shown in the "AMP Setup --> Network" configuration menu. ACLs are all correct (we use this VLAN for setup of new APs or troubleshooting any problematic ones), the switch can ping Airwave, and manually adding the switch displays the correct information. I wasn't sure what the shared secret was (since we don't have a whitelist set up) and tried both "admin" and leaving the section blank, however the error message persists.
I can't seem to find anything through the Search bar and Google is telling me that 'aruba FREESTAK' doesn't return any results. Any thoughts or suggestions?
