Hello all,
I am in the (last stages) of deploying the new Aruba Wireless network on our campus and now encountering the above issue and suspect it may have something to do with licensing.
I have read up a bit on the licencing and it's my understanding that the number of PEF licenses must match the number of AP licenses. The last few APs which I have added/rebooted to the network boot cycle every 10 minutes or so.
I run the command "show ap license-usage" on the controller with the following results:
AP Licenses
-----------
Type Number
---- ------
AP Licenses 77
PEF Licenses 0
Overall AP License Limit 0
AP Usage
--------
Type Count
---- -----
Active CAPs 77
Standby CAPs 0
RAPs 0
Remote-node APs 0
Tunneled nodes 0
Total APs 77
Remaining AP Capacity
---------------------
Type Number
---- ------
CAPs 0
RAPs 0
The command "show license verbose" shows that the AP and PEF licenses are the same at 112, enabled and set to never expire:
As I said the APs have been working fine until recently and the "PEF Licenses 0" is where i suspect the issue may be, but am not sure how/if this has anything to do with the AP boot cycling. Before raising a TAC case I just want to be sure about this and get some expert advice in case the issue might be something else.
Thanks in advance
