Setting Aruba AP 70 Parameters
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:
Does your network use direct IP addresses or DNS with host names?
If using host names, is aruba-master acceptable 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:
My network uses DNS and the aruba-master host 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
