  • 1.  7005 Gateway not joining Central network

    Posted Jan 10, 2024 01:57 PM

    I am running Central 10x in my lab and recently had one of the 7005 controllers stop working. I have spent hours trying to get it back online with no success. My Central network will recognize the controller but the controller will not accept any of the configuration from the group. I have a second 7005 that works fine so it isn't anything to do with my setup. The issue is that when I console into the controller to try to do a 'write-erase-all', it tells me it is being controlled by an ACP. When I go into Central and try to do the same thing with a console command, the controller is not recognized. 

    Does anyone know of a way to get this controller reprovisioned or is it bricked?

    Unfortunately, when issuing the disaster-recovery on command at the controller prompt, I get the message 'I do not have permission to execute that command'. Another issue I have is the password has gotten changed and I do not know what it is. I use the password/forgetme! command and can get to the controller prompt but cannot make any changes. It always comes back to the controlled by ACP message. So, cannot change the password and cannot connect it to Central, which is non-prem BTW. Any other ideas? I can't believe this cannot be fixed somehow.

    I think it is best to contact Aruba TAC
