Wireless Access

I was wondering if its possible to totally config a AP for example a 105 AP im not talking about the rap 2wg....

 

Okay if i provision it on site and then come with my AP to the remote site okay it works fine...

 

But what happens if i don twant to locally provision it... let say i want to configure a AP 105 totally from factory default to connect as a remote ap to the controller?

 

this is the config i was putting on it

 

setenv ipaddr 192.168.3.171
setenv subnetmask 255.255.255.0
setenv gatewayip 192.168.3.254
setenv serverip 200.75.219.13
setenv master 200.75.219.13
save
reset

 

 

 

And its doing this

If you see its putting another IP not the one i put it through the cli console... and its stuck doing that...

What im doing wrong?

i also tried doing

 

setenv remote_ap=1

 

Im still in the same thing...

Any help?

New AP’s which are shipped do not have any image on the flash. Hence you see the “Invalid image” error. The AP will try to contact the controller and get its image and then should work fine post that. If you are provisioning over a WAN link, there is a chance that tftp may be blocked or dropped in the path. You can try provisioning the AP to a controller on the same network or you can put the AP image on a tftp server and have the serverip provisioned on the AP to be this tftp server IP. To provision this as a remote AP, you need to set the parameter setenv remote_ap = 1 in the apboot.

hello

Yeah it was something really silly... just had to port forward or in this case as i was too lazy i just put that ip on the dmz on my linksys router... im testing at home that stuff..

 

anyways everything works fine exept that it wont pick the ip im telling ....

it keep getting ip from the DHCP server...

it times out in getting a dhpc address..

If i put the dhcp server again it works...

as you see i treid configuring the static ip address

with

It is netmask

 

Below is how you set it:

 

setenv ipaddr x.x.x.x
setenv netmask x.x.x.x
setenv gatewayip x.x.x.x

Yeah i just figured that out by provisioning the remote ap

then  going to the ap boot and then doing print i saw the netmask...

 

Ill look for the tread here i saw someone telling it was subnetmask i copied that form someone here telling that mmm

or is it an old command???

and now is changed to netmask?

 

http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Access-Points-and-Mesh-Routers/Faulty-AP-105-not-attaching-to-controller/td-p/21100/page/2

thats the tread...

anyways ill post there also... someone might also see it and will have the same trouble i had...

 

Anyways thanks man! Kudos! :)  everything is cool now

 

I've attached a very old doc whioch lists the AP commands possible.

Note that some 'aliases' have been made ('purgeenv' for example can now be entered simply as 'purge')

Please try without the equal sign. thats the correct command

 

apboot> setenv remote_ap 1

 

apboot> save

Un-Protected 1 sectors

.done

Erased 1 sectors

Here is my configuration  i was putting on it

 

setenv ipaddr 192.168.3.9
setenv subnetmask 255.255.252.0
setenv gatewayip 192.168.3.254
save
reset

 

And its doing this

kindly help us to solve this issue

You did not set the "dnsip" variable, so your AP cannot find "aruba-master", because it does not have a dns server configured.

how to configer dnsip please help me... 

What are you trying to do?  The way you have it configured is not the way things are typically done.  It is harder this way.

 

hi all,

please help me to solve this problem...

My boss purchased 3 items on Aruba AP-135 with out controller...

i am new to aruba product, no idea about compatible controllers for aruba ap 135,

 

1.Aruba 2400/2400E 24-Port Access Multiplexer Wireless LAN Mobility Controller

 

2.Aruba 650-US WLAN Mobility Controller

3.ARUBA NETWORKS 3400-US WIRELESS LAN 4-PORT MULTI-SERVICE MOBILITY CONTROLLER

4.Aruba Networks 800 8-Port LAN Mobility Controller

 

which products support aruba ap 135 please comment here

The 650 and 3400 will support the AP-135 but those controllers are very old
and one is EOS.



You should consider a 7005 contorller.

what about the license it should be annually renew or will comes with life time warranty 

You will need at minimum AP licenses.
