    Posted Apr 25, 2014 12:07 PM

    i have an aruba 650 and configured for my LAN users to autenticate via domain , 

    i did "aaa test-server mschapv2 nps" and authentication was successful.

    my problem is that my SSID is not broadcasted though i have done all configurations 

    on the controller and WLAN lan is seen on the GUI 

    i post output of sh ap database 

     

    AP_In_Procurement Office Test 105 192.168.1.127 Up 1m:48s 2 192.168.0.237 0.0.0.0

    Flags: U = Unprovisioned; N = Duplicate name; G = No such group; L = Unlicensed
    I = Inactive; D = Dirty or no config; E = Regulatory Domain Mismatch
    X = Maintenance Mode; P = PPPoE AP; B = Built-in AP
    R = Remote AP; R- = Remote AP requires Auth; C = Cellular RAP;
    c = CERT-based RAP; 1 = 802.1x authenticated AP; 2 = Using IKE version 2
    u = Custom-Cert RAP; S = Standby-mode AP; J = USB cert at AP
    M = Mesh node; Y = Mesh Recovery

    can you include the full output of "show ap database long" to verify what AP Group the AP is in

     

    Also, can you verify the following:

     

    show ap bss-table

    show ap-group <NameofAPGroup>  .....check if a virtual AP is present; if so, run:

    show wlan virtual-ap <NameofVAP> .....check for SSID Profile name

    show wlan ssid-profile <NameofSSIDProfile>  ......check for Hide SSID and Deny_Broadcast Probes fields

    What about the other commands above:

     

    show ap bss-table ap-name "AP_In_Procurement Office"

    show ap-group Test  .....check if a virtual AP is present; if so, run:

    show wlan virtual-ap <NameofVAP> .....check for SSID Profile name

    show wlan ssid-profile <NameofSSIDProfile>  ......check for Hide SSID and Deny_Broadcast Probes

    Do you have any vlan settings?  If not, this would keep the SSID from not broadcasting.  Also, check in your VAP profile that the "Virtual AP Enabled" checkbox is checked(GUI) or enabled.

    Also, check the following to see if there are any errors preventing it from coming up:  show profile-errors.
