    Hi,

    I am new to Aruba, I have new Aruba AP, I am trying to deploy it in my lab first. For some reason this AP keep rebooting and not getting an IP address. Below is the console output I am getting:

     

    [ 7.901741] bonding: bond0: enslaving eth1 as a backup interface with a down link.
    [ 8.125495] AP xml model 66, num_radios 2 (jiffies 3859)
    [ 8.189092] init_asap_mod: installation:0
    [ 8.237042] radio 0: band 1 ant 0 max_ssid 16
    [ 8.289147] radio 1: band 0 ant 0 max_ssid 16
    [ 8.341261] ethernet_device_event: dev eth0 is up
    [ 8.405409] ASAP Slowpath initialized

    Getting an IP address...

    [ 11.313128] bonding: bond0: link status definitely up for interface eth0.
    [ 11.394413] bonding: bond0: making interface eth0 the new active one.
    [ 11.471572] bonding: bond0: first active interface up!
    [ 11.533153] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): bond0: link becomes ready
    192.168.4.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1
    Running ADP...cat: /tmp/master: No such file or directory
    Done. Master is
    killall: nanny: no process killed
    killall: sapd: no process killed

    and the AP will reboot. any advice.

    Your AP did get an ip address, but it did not find a discovery method to find your controller:

     

    192.168.4.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.4.1

     

    192.168.4.5 is the ip address.

     

    What discovery method are you using for your AP to find your controller?

    Hi,

      I have the ADP and DHCP option 43 both for discovery. Any recommendation?

    Is it on the same VLAN as the controller?  I would stop the AP at the apboot> prompt and type "dhcp" and see if it discovers anything.  Has this ever worked for any other APs?

    Hi,

      I did checked out the DHCP option from the AP and it came out OK. After talking to an Sr. engineer in my compay he recommanded that I should setup the DNS server and reset the AP  and that was the solution now it is working.
