If the entry does not show up in the AP list, check network connectivity. Go
to the AP console and verify if the AP has come up with the IP from the
provisioning subnet.
8. After the entry shows up on the page, configure the location, Host IP/Name,
Master IP address.
If AP is going to be assigned a static IP, click Use the following IP Address
and enter the IP address, Netmask, Gateway IP.
If the AP is going to obtain an IP address using DHCP, click Use IP Address
Using DHCP.
9. After configuring the required parameters, select the entry from the list (AP to
which the configuration has to be applied) and click Apply.
The State field changes from U (Unprovisioned) to In Progress. to P
(Provisioned).
N OTE : Check that the configured parameters are reflected in the AP list entry.
N OTE : Aruba Networks recommends that you provision each AP for a unique
location as suggested by site-survey planning. Label each AP with this
location information and place the AP in its proper location. Failure to
place APs in the location for which they were provisioned will reduce the
effectiveness of such RF features as triangulation.
10. Click Back to return to the previous page
We can see that the Subnet is still configured and Port/s are selected.
11. When finished provisioning APs, click Disable to disable AP Provisioning.
N OTE : Disable AP Provisioning after all the required APs are provisioned. Ports
that are enabled for provisioning do not handle traffic. Therefore plugging
an already provisioned AP into a port still set to provisioning mode will
prevent that AP from functioning.
Now the AP is configured with the Parameters given
12. Reboot the AP so the AP will come up with the new configured parameters.
Use the Reprovisioning tab for APs which are already deployed but need to be
reconfigured. See the ArubaOS User Guide for information on reprovisioning.
