Preprovisioning a RAP 109 with a 3400 controller

  • 1.  Preprovisioning a RAP 109 with a 3400 controller

    Posted Oct 24, 2013 03:21 AM

    I am having an issue Preprovisioning a RAP 109 with a 3400 controller.  I have used the RAP Network guide and I am up to the stage of provisioning the RAP.  I have added the rap mac to rap whitelist however it does not connect to the controller.   When I look at the logs it states User BV0033925:24:de:c6:cd:65:6a was not found in the database. User BV0033925:24:de:c6:cd:65:6a Failed Authentication.

    How do I get the RAP to provision, do I have to add the user, I can't imagine that I would have to do this for each rap. Of course this is my first rap deployment.

    yes, you need to add it to the rap whitelist on the master controller.

     

    Configuration > AP Installation > Whitelist > Remote AP and then add the RAP into that.

     

    I assume you've already configured a nat pool for the RAPs?

    I do have the rap in the whitelist with AP Group of Remote-AP-Group and have the ipsec address pool (called RAP), this is a subset of addresses 172.17.0.10- 20 on the same subnet as the controller 172.17.0.0/24 vlan 1

     

    Not sure if this is helpful but just to give a summary of what I have:

     

    Setup an Remote-AP-Group has a vap with vlan 17

    The Internal DB has a user rapuser with ap-role

    ap-role has vlan 1 with L2TP pool of RAP

     

    However when I connect the rap to the controller directly it picks up 172.17.0.51, however the rap does not provision.  Really not sure what I am missing here.

     

     

     

     

    Ideally what I want to do is have multiple rap's on different remote sites with different subnets for staff and again a different subnet for guests.

    Make sure you are running the right minimum version of Code.

     

    The RAP 100 series access points requires ArubaOS 6.2.0.0 and above:  http://www.arubanetworks.com/pdf/products/DS_RAP-100.pdf

    The 3400 controller needs to be running 6.2.0.0 and above.

    Ok I have updated the controller to 6.2 however the rap doesn't provision.  Any tips?

    A RAP-109 is an InstantAP out of the box.  Have you gone into the IAP's Maintenance tab > Convert > then pointed the IAP to the controllers IP?  Once you do this the RAP-109 should set up a connection with the controller and get thin AP code and the config from the controller.

    Unfortunately I got an error back trying this.

     

    Response data is corrupted!
    Request url part:
    opcode=convert-ap&host=172.17.0.254&oper_id=E4F01794-0E0E-491D-B8F5-45E6E325E8C8&mode=remote

    Is that when you try to do a convert from theGUI of the RAP109?

    Correct and now I can't get into it.  I will try reset it.

    Having the same with RAP-108. Did you fix this ? May I know how or what I can try more ?

     

    Thanks, regards

    Hi

     

    If you mean the data response corruption error,  there wasn't a fix besides resetting the device and trying again.  It did work on the third attempt.

     

    For connecting to the controller on the RAP interface this worked.  Maintenance tab > Convert > then pointed the IAP to the controllers IP?

    Yes I mean the data corruption error.

    I get it a lot of times and it always fails. Other RAP models go fine, so am not sure if it's the model or the specific unit.

    Why do you think it fails a few times and then works at the third time ? is there a reason ?

     

    Thanks, regards
