Controllerless Networks

I have a couple of Aruba IAPs (315-RW and 303h-RW) that I bought a couple of years ago, both go online without losing settings so luckily they were properly cleared (or never registered?) on Aruba Central. Recently saw a posting on ebay for a 303hr that I can use to cover a dead spot in my place so I bought it.

Unfortunately, upon going online it doesn't accept the default admin/admin (also tried admin/Serial), version info before it went online:
ArubaOS (MODEL: 303H), Version 6.5.3.0

So I assume the device is claimed in someones account.

The sale is recent and I contacted the seller explaining the problem and waiting for a response. Older threads on this forum mention creating an account on "activate.arubanetworks.com" and claiming the device, but I assume that no longer works.
I understand that I can block access to a certain URL to prevent the device from provisioning or even use activate-disable after upgrading it, but I wish to do it proper/cleanly. Can someone from Aruba help me? Paperwork can be provided.

Thanks

Did you try a factory reset?  https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Instant_83_WebHelp/Content/Instant_UG/IAP_maintenance/ResettingIAP.htm

Hi @cjoseph

Yes, I did.
Upon resetting I can access the AP. Once it's connected to the internet it resets and kicks me out of ssh session. My understanding is that this means the AP is in someone's Aruba Central inventory (the radios never go up though).
The fact that its running the same version stated on the box (6.5.3.0) tells me it was probably never deployed and later sold to my seller on ebay who sold it to me without it being properly decommissioned from the original buyer's account.
​​
The seller has a 100% rating and 1000s of sales but regardless, if there's any doubt in the APs history, then I'm still in the return window. Please assist in either releasing the AP into an unprovisioned/unclaimed state so I can keep it, or let me know if there's anything shady about it and I will return it before the window expires.

Many thanks

The best was is to open the case and TAC will be able to help you. You will need a Proof of Purchase for AP. 

I did have the same problem when I get my demo AP back from prospect customer and it was still linked to his account.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

I don't have a support contract, I don't think I can open a case..

Would appreciate if somehow you could let the appropriate people know to possibly assist in unlinking mine as well. Proof of purchase can be provided of course.

The seller got back to me today actually and it was: "Part of an office clearance with loads of different equipment, unable to remove that account.. Please return if unhappy for a full refund".

Please assist. Cheers

Hi @apman

You don't need to have support contract for case to be opened. AP has limited life time warranty and you just need administrative action and not technical support. On your place I'll open he case and provide POP.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

Thanks for your reply. So I registered and that seems to have gone ok. I can see the portal and on the top right I see where I need to open a case (Case Management):



As soon as I click it though I get..

Any idea what might be causing that? I think my account needs to be manually activated by a human.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

Thanks for the document. I looked through it and it states:

"It may take up to one business day to finalize the creation of your new ASP account."

​I assume this is what you wanted to bring to my attention? I will try opening a case again tomorrow.

Thanks again for your time.

Subject: 303hr (off ebay) is provisioned after going online

I have a couple of Aruba IAPs (315-RW and 303h-RW) that I bought a couple of years ago, both go online without losing settings so luckily they were properly cleared (or never registered?) on Aruba Central. Recently saw a posting on ebay for a 303hr that I can use to cover a dead spot in my place so I bought it.

Unfortunately, upon going online it doesn't accept the default admin/admin (also tried admin/Serial), version info before it went online:
ArubaOS (MODEL: 303H), Version 6.5.3.0

So I assume the device is claimed in someones account.

The sale is recent and I contacted the seller explaining the problem and waiting for a response. Older threads on this forum mention creating an account on "activate.arubanetworks.com" and claiming the device, but I assume that no longer works.
I understand that I can block access to a certain URL to prevent the device from provisioning or even use activate-disable after upgrading it, but I wish to do it proper/cleanly. Can someone from Aruba help me? Paperwork can be provided.

Thanks

I would recommend giving support a call, as that may be faster and you can explain the situation. You can find the dial-in numbers here.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

Thanks for the document. I looked through it and it states:

"It may take up to one business day to finalize the creation of your new ASP account."

​I assume this is what you wanted to bring to my attention? I will try opening a case again tomorrow.

Thanks again for your time.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

Thanks for your reply. So I registered and that seems to have gone ok. I can see the portal and on the top right I see where I need to open a case (Case Management):



As soon as I click it though I get..

Any idea what might be causing that? I think my account needs to be manually activated by a human.

Hi @apman

You don't need to have support contract for case to be opened. AP has limited life time warranty and you just need administrative action and not technical support. On your place I'll open he case and provide POP.

Hi @GorazdKikelj ,

I don't have a support contract, I don't think I can open a case..

Would appreciate if somehow you could let the appropriate people know to possibly assist in unlinking mine as well. Proof of purchase can be provided of course.

The seller got back to me today actually and it was: "Part of an office clearance with loads of different equipment, unable to remove that account.. Please return if unhappy for a full refund".

Please assist. Cheers

I did have the same problem when I get my demo AP back from prospect customer and it was still linked to his account.

Hi @cjoseph

Yes, I did.
Upon resetting I can access the AP. Once it's connected to the internet it resets and kicks me out of ssh session. My understanding is that this means the AP is in someone's Aruba Central inventory (the radios never go up though).
The fact that its running the same version stated on the box (6.5.3.0) tells me it was probably never deployed and later sold to my seller on ebay who sold it to me without it being properly decommissioned from the original buyer's account.
​​
The seller has a 100% rating and 1000s of sales but regardless, if there's any doubt in the APs history, then I'm still in the return window. Please assist in either releasing the AP into an unprovisioned/unclaimed state so I can keep it, or let me know if there's anything shady about it and I will return it before the window expires.

Many thanks

Hi @Herman Robers ,

There's no toll free number for my country. Since there seems to be a standard procedure (open a case and provide proof), I think no need for explaining the situation over an international call.

You could help by activating my account/allowing me to open a case please.
​
By the way, I bought my very first AP after watching your videos on youtube. This is all your fault! :)

ArubaOS (MODEL: 303H), Version 6.5.3.0

So I assume the device is claimed in someones account.

The sale is recent and I contacted the seller explaining the problem and waiting for a response. Older threads on this forum mention creating an account on "activate.arubanetworks.com" and claiming the device, but I assume that no longer works.
I understand that I can block access to a certain URL to prevent the device from provisioning or even use activate-disable after upgrading it, but I wish to do it proper/cleanly. Can someone from Aruba help me? Paperwork can be provided.

Thanks
