How to delete or disable the virtual controller IP from the Aruba master IAP?


I have applied the virtual-controller-IP on my master IAP and configuration is persisted on my master IAP which can be viewed in the running configuration of the IAP.

WAP# configure terminal  WAP (config) # virtual-controller-ip 200.20.200.237  
WAP (config) # end  
WAP# commit apply  
committing configuration... 
configuration committed.  
WAP# reload all  
Do you really want to reset the system (y/n): y

How to delete or disable this applied configuration using Aruba CLI?


Solution

  • To disable or unset a Virtual Controller IP we need to apply virtual-controller-ip as 0.0.0.0 in the master wap or Virtual controller.

    Let's apply virtual-controller-ip as 0.0.0.0 in master WAP.

    WAP# configure terminal
    We now support CLI commit model, please type "commit apply" for configuration to take effect.
    WAP (config) # virtual-controller-ip 0.0.0.0
    WAP (config) # end
    WAP# commit apply no-save
    committing configuration...
    

    Now in the master wap running-config we don't have virtual-controller-ip.

    WAP# show running-config
    virtual-controller-country US
    

    From Aruba 8.3 MIB, it says when the Virtual controller IP address is not set, it will return 0.0.0.0.
