Troubleshooting

A

This appendix discusses troubleshooting tools and procedures available for the
Aruba AP 60/61. Troubleshooting should be limited to the information provided
below.

After provisioning and deployment, the Aruba AP 60/61 can be configured and
managed through the Mobility Controller. However, the Aruba AP 60/61 includes
built-in troubleshooting features for situations where the Mobility Controller
commands are unable to diagnose AP problems.

This appendix describes using the built-in AP support prompt for troubleshooting.

Accessing the AP Support Prompt

Depending on your network topology, the built-in AP Support prompt can be
accessed using the AP serial console port or through the Mobility Controller using
the Serial Over Ethernet (SOE) interface or using Telnet from a remote
management station.

Direct SPOE Connection to Mobility Controller

This method requires that the Aruba AP 60/61 is connected directly to an
SPOE-compatible network port on the Mobility Controller (see

“Connecting

Required Cables”

on

page 28

).
