Usage Guidelines
You do not need to provision APs before installing and using them.
The exceptions are outdoor APs, which have antenna gains that you must provision before they can be used,
and APs configured for mesh. You must provision the AP before you install it as a mesh node in a mesh
deployment.
Users less familiar with this process may prefer to use the Provisioning page in the WebUI to provision an AP.
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.
