hi playinpearls
cert rap bring up should require the following few steps only. no vpn profiles, no PSKs etc.
Controller
>> define l2tp ip pool
>> whitelist the ap
AP
>> purge ap (or reset via button, making sure it doesnt revert to IAP if it was instant before)
>> check you working DHCP (type dhcp at apboot, wait, then ping the master ip - make sure it's all fine)
>> either let it discover and connect to controller, reprovision as rap, or from apboot
setenv remote_ap 1
setenv master <controller ip>
save
boot
that should be it, if it's still stuck after this, you can go into the ap shell and take a look in the file /tmp/rapper.txt and /tmp/sapd_debug_log.txt, these may give you a hint as to any problem. But ultimately, setting it as RAP above and the master IP should be enough to get it talking to the controller.
