Setting Aruba AP 60/61 Parameters

1.From the apboot prompt, configure the host information, if necessary.

In order to provide centralized management of the APs, each Aruba AP downloads its software image and configuration files from a master Mobility Controller.

Setting the correct host information depends on the following:

zDoes your network use direct IP addresses or DNS with host names?

zIf using host names, is aruba-masteracceptable for the master Mobility Con- troller, or do you need to define a different name?

Depending on your answers, select one of the following steps:

zMy network uses DNS and the aruba-masterhost name is acceptable.

This is the default. It requires your DNS to be configured to resolve

“aruba-master” to the IP address of the master Mobility Controller. Unless your system has been previously configured for different settings, you can skip to Step 2.

Otherwise, if your system was previously configured for a different setup, manually set the servername environment variable to the default host name:

apboot> setenv servername aruba-master

NOTE: The master and serverip environment variables also affect how AP source files are selected and should be cleared when using this approach. To clear a variable, enter the setenv variable command with no host name or address value:

apboot> setenv master apboot> setenv serverip

When finished, proceed to Step 2.

zMy network uses DNS, but I will use a different host name for the Mobility Controller.

This requires that the servername variable be configured with your chosen host name for the master Mobility Controller. It also requires that your DNS be configured to resolve the specified host name to the IP address of the master Mobility Controller.

To manually set the host name, use the following command:

apboot> setenv servername <Mobility Controller host name>
