Troubleshooting with MistAI – Roaming
Roaming for wireless clients is very important. Some smaller environments pay little attention to roaming; while some environments require near perfect roaming and can’t afford for wireless clients to drop a connection and then reconnect. Wireless engineers spend lots of time figuring out how to deploy a wireless network that will offer seamless roaming. And…

Aruba Central – Automate API Key Refresh
In one of the previous blog posts, I wrote about my initial thoughts on Aruba Central APIs; I discussed the initial setup to generate the keys and used a script to refresh the keys since the API Token for Aruba Central expires after 7200 seconds (2 hours). It is easy to refresh a token using…
