DescriptionHow can I clear the AP index list so the new APs start with number 1? When the controller used at one site is installed in another site, the AP index will not start from 1, instead it will carry on adding the AP with the next AP ID number that was connected in the network earlier.

SolutionSTEPS TAKEN FOR TROUBLESHOOTING:
STEP 1 : | Save the current running configuration of the controller with a file name.
Meru# copy running-config <filename>
E.g: Meru# copy running-config backup |
STEP 2 : | FTP or TFTP the file to the system:
Meru#copy filename ftp://anonymous@x.x.x.x/
or
Meru#copy filename tftp://x.x.x.x/
where filename is the name of the running configuration and x.x.x.x is the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server. |
STEP 3: | Edit
the AP ID of the APs in the configuration and save the configuration
file with a new name and upload the configuration to the controller
again. |
STEP 4: | Upload running configuration from PC to controller:
Meru# copy ftp://anonymous@x.x.x.x/(filename)
where filename is the name of the running-config file and x.x.x.x is the IP address of the FTP/TFTP server.
Meru#dir (to view whether the file has been uploaded in the controller)
Meru# copy filename running-config
Meru# copy running-config startup-config |
STEP 5: | Perform a reboot to the controller after uploading the running configuration to the controller. |
RESOLUTION: | Editing the APID in the running configuration and uploading the edited configuration fixed the issue. |
