Update: Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points
Good Morning Everyone - I wanted to once again thank everyone who responded to my question last month about the Aruba Instant IAP-215 wireless access point issue we were having. We believe the problem has been solved. One of the suggestions here was that it might be a bug in the firmware, and it did end up being an undocumented bug in the firmware - upgrading to a newer version seems to have stopped the problem from recurring for more than a week now. I do want to thank Mike Tennefoss from Aruba who is a member of this list for helping to move this along. Thank you all for your ideas and suggestions!

You appear to be referring to *Cisco* APs. Thus thread is about *Aruba* APs, not Cisco. It is well known that Cisco tries to keep you trapped in their products. Your post is off-topic for the thread.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points
Using WS-C2960S-48LPS-L & WS-C2960X-48LPD-L With lldp transmit enabled (default), non-IAP model PoE consumption on Cisco switches below: AP-135 draws 15.4 watts AP-215 draws 21.4 watts AP-225 draws 22.4 watts AP-275 draws 30.0 watts Although not standard and recommended, we have some Aruba AP-215s running on Bertek CAT5 UTP under 200' distances at Gig. Surprisingly, many pass CAT5e permanent link certification using Fluke DSX. Using certified CAT6 patch cords for cross-connects and it has been stable. No frame errors, resets, or AP reboots.Using Aruba OS 6.4.2.12. I would think the non-virtual controller IAP-215 would draw similar loads as the AP-215. Max load on a Cisco 370watt PoE switch is (~17) AP-215. As stated previously, check Cisco/Aruba logs and settings. If possible, re-certify the problem horizontal runs. -Lionel Lionel Shigemura UH - Leeward Community College Information Technology Group (808) 455-0486 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information and may be legally protected from disclosure.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points
It’s been a while, but we had a similar issue with Cisco 2960S and Aruba APs (the regular version) a couple years. There was a bug in the Aruba code that caused the AP to request more power than the switch could deliver (>30 watts). The switch would bug out and not deliver enough power. I don’t recall offhand what version of code that was on, and I know it was fixed. Perhaps it has re-appeared again? It seemed to only affect Cisco switches as our Brocade switches would still send out what was required to run the AP. -Christopher On Sep 14, 2015, at 10:58 PM, Lionel Shigemura <lio...@hawaii.edu<mailto:lio...@hawaii.edu>> wrote: Using WS-C2960S-48LPS-L & WS-C2960X-48LPD-L With lldp transmit enabled (default), non-IAP model PoE consumption on Cisco switches below: AP-135 draws 15.4 watts AP-215 draws 21.4 watts AP-225 draws 22.4 watts AP-275 draws 30.0 watts Although not standard and recommended, we have some Aruba AP-215s running on Bertek CAT5 UTP under 200' distances at Gig. Surprisingly, many pass CAT5e permanent link certification using Fluke DSX. Using certified CAT6 patch cords for cross-connects and it has been stable. No frame errors, resets, or AP reboots.Using Aruba OS 6.4.2.12. I would think the non-virtual controller IAP-215 would draw similar loads as the AP-215. Max load on a Cisco 370watt PoE switch is (~17) AP-215. As stated previously, check Cisco/Aruba logs and settings. If possible, re-certify the problem horizontal runs. -Lionel Lionel Shigemura UH - Leeward Community College Information Technology Group (808) 455-0486 CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: The contents of this email message and any attachments are intended solely for the addressee(s) and may contain confidential and/or privileged information and may be legally protected from disclosure.

Another building is soon to be underway, and I'm managing this project. Over the last couple of weeks, it seems like random access points are shutting down wireless access. They are not all connected to the same Cisco switch (various Cisco POE switches in two residence halls). The access point is not ping-able, the MAC address is not found in the virtual controller's table, the switch port is up and power is being supplied to the access point. The only way we seem to get an access point back up is to do a shut/no shut on the switch port to which it is connected. The vendor who configured the access points hasn't been able to determine why this is happening and before we initiate an Aruba support call, I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences like this and what you determined was the cause of the issue. We are running into walls here. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.
