Release Notes

Provisioned or reprovisioned values do not take effect until the AP is rebooted. APs reboot automatically after
they are successfully reprovisioned.
In order to enable cellular uplink for a remote AP (RAP), the RAP must have the device driver for the USB data
card and the correct configuration parameters. ArubaOS includes device drivers for the most common
hardware types, but you can use the usb commands in this profile to configure a RAP to recognize and use an
unknown USB modem type.
Provisioning a Single AP
To provision a single AP:
1. Use the read-bootinfo option to read the current information from the deployed AP you wish to
reprovision.
2. Use the show provisioning-ap-list command to see the AP to be provisioned.
3. Use the copy-provisioning-params option to copy the AP’s parameter values to the provisioning-params
workspace.
4. Use the provision-ap options to set new values. Use the show provisioning-params command to display
parameters and values in the provisioning-params workspace. Use the clear provisioning-params
command to reset the workspace to default values.
5. Use the reprovision option to provision the AP with the values in provisioning-params workspace. The AP
automatically reboots.
Provisioning Multiple APs at a Time
You can change parameter values for multiple APs at a time, however, note the following:
l You cannot provision the following AP-specific options on multiple APs:
n ap-name
n ipaddr
n pap-user
n pap-passwd
n ikepsk
If any of these options are already provisioned on the AP, their values are retained when the AP is
reprovisioned.
l The values of the server-name, a-ant-gain, or g-ant-gain options are retained if they are not reprovisioned.
l All other values in the provisioning-params workspace are copied to the APs.
To provision multiple APs at the same time:
1. Use the read-bootinfo to read the current information from each deployed AP that you wish to provision.
The AP parameter values are written to the provisioning-ap-list. To reprovision multiple APs, the APs must be present
in the provisioning-ap-list. Use the show provisioning-ap-list command to see the APs that will be provisioned. Use
the clear provisioning-ap-list command to clear the provisioning-ap-list.
2. Use the copy-provisioning-params option to copy an AP’s parameter values to the provisioning-params
workspace.
3. Use the provision-ap options to set new values. Use the show provisioning-params command to display
parameters and values in the provisioning-params workspace. Use the clear provisioning-params
command to reset the workspace to default values.
4. Use the reprovisionall option to provision the APs in the provisioning-ap-list with the values in
provisioning-params workspace. All APs in the provisioning-ap-list automatically reboot.
