Off Topic question:
How are you liking Aruba? We are using Cisco Wifi at the moment but seriously considering Aruba for the next upgrade.

thanks,

We have a small Aruba environment with a Mobility Controller model 2400, 20 access point AP-70 and now we are going to buy 25 AP-105 and 3 RAP5-WN for remote office branch.
All the system is controlled trough AirWave.
I have no other experience in WIFI environment so I don't know wich feature are better than Cisco and vice versa.
The system works well except some problem with the AP-70 (reset configuration and now we are investigate about this issue) but the AirWave management platform is really impressive.

unfortunately I have to reschedule the template test because yesterday I had an accident on the ski slopes and I have to stand for at least 30 days.

Awesome, thanks. We are looking at a few of the 6000 controllers fully loaded and upwards of 200 APs. We a have a very high density environment and have to contend with spectrum saturation in 2.4. Thus I was curious how well Aruba radios work.

When I tried to import the template I get: "Error: XML: Hash version does not exist."

Any idea?

I read that is a possible issue with the Cacti version in export/import :"Cacti supports importing templates exported with an older version into a newer version, but not the reverse."

Hamish which version of cacti have exported the template?

Replace 'hash_**0021' with your version in the host template. (Probably it was exported from Cacti 0.8.7g)
- How to determine a Cacti template version - Cacti Docs

In so far as this template, simply you may replace '0021' with 'XXXX' by text editor. There is no '0021' except hash code in that file.

I couldn't import the templates either. No error message, no nothing. I'm running Cacti 0.8.7h. If anyone has a solution that'd be great.

I was having the same issue as others...trying to import the host template and getting now output from the import form.

I believe there are two stray lines in the posted files. They are:

Code: Select all

Invalid round robin archive.
Invalid round robin archive.
one lines 3431 and 3432 of the host template xml file. Removing these allowed me to import the template (using cacti 0.87i).

Good luck.
