Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT)

I am setting up an Aruba IAP335 for forwarding IoT BLE beacons using WebSocket. I have set up a  radio-profile and a transportProfile.

Aruba_ap1# show running-config | include iot

iot radio-profile test

iot transportProfile testprofile

iot use-radio-profile test

iot useTransportProfile testprofile

I also set up a WebSocket server and it can receive some messages forwarded by the AP. However, the message has no BLE data. Something like below

meta {

  version: 1

  access_token: "aabbccddee"

}

reporter {

  name: "Aruba_ap1"

  mac: "some mac address"

  ipv4: "192.168.1.93"

  hwType: "AP-335"

  swVersion: "8.8.0.0-8.8.0.0-mm-dev"

  swBuild: "77366"

  time: 1655078649

}

Apparently the AP is not doing BLE scanning. I noticed the following setting "APB: Disabled" in the radio configuration. Even though I chose "Beaconing" it is still disabled. 

Radio Configuration

-------------------

Item                          Value

----                          -----

Radio Information             TI ONBOARD Internal BLE 

Radio Profile Type            --

Zigbee Supported              No

APB MAC Address              "some mac address"

Operational Mode              Beaconing (APB: Disabled)

Operational BluOS FW Version  OAD B 1.2-42

Bundled BluOS Upgrade         Enabled (-1)

Bundled BluOS Images          Bank A(/aruba/bin/UpgradeImage_AP_OAD-A_1.2-42.bin) Bank B(/aruba/bin/Beacon_AP_OAD-B_1.2-42.bin)

OTA FW BluOS Upgrade          Disabled

FW Stack Supported            No

Don't know if this is the root cause and how to solve it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Without further details of your configuration it is hard to help you. Please provide some more details. Here are some troubleshooting commands.

Check IoT configuration applied to AP​
show ap debug ble-config​

Check BLE table and radios​:
show ap debug ble-table all​
​
Check IoT transport connection status​:
show ap debug ble-relay iot-profile​
​show ap debug ble-relay report​

​Troubleshoot IoT transport websocket log​:
​show ap debug ble-relay ws-log <profile>​

Check IoT transport statistics e.g., for dropped messages​:
​show ap debug ble-relay tag-report

​
To enable the IoT radio for BLE scanning & beaconing (the default and only supported by AP-3xx) should look like this:

iot radio-profile int-ble​
 radio-mode ble​

iot use-radio-profile int-ble

Aruba_ap1# show iot radio-profile test        

Name                :test

References          :1

Instance            :internal

Mode                :ble

BLE Opmode          :scanning beaconing

BLE Console         :on

BLE TxPower (dBm)   :0

Zigbee Mode         :coordinator

Zigbee Channel(s)   :auto
