    I have configured 2 network.
    1 - Instant Red
    2 - Red Mobility Controller
    I have 3 SSID configured EXACTLY THE SAME on both networks/physical and virtual
    Can I switch between networks transparently?

    If everything matches (encryption, keys, RADIUS servers, etc), then you should be able to roam between them without issue although the roam may take a little bit longer than normal. 

     

    This is not a recommended design.

    The configuration is follow:

     

    1.- Mobility Controllers 650 - 16 APS

    2.- Aruba Instant (controller) with 7 AP
    The 2 controllers (Physical and Virtual) have the same SSID, encryption, keys, RADIUS servers, captive portal,etc.

     

    In both have navigation.

     

    The problem is to change the SSID (UAO) -650 to SSID (UAO) -Instant. Is necessary to forget the network, put off the network adapter, and start the connection again.

     

    The change is not made between the 2 networks transparently

     

    Why?

    What authentication method are you using?

    PSK? EAP-PEAP? EAP-TLS?

    Ok
    SSID UAO-AL
    WPA2 and MAC Authentication


    SSID UAO-I
    LDAP authentication


    SSID UAO-AD
    WPA2 and MAC Authentication

    SSID UAO-I   are most problems.

    This is likely because the two environments are using different server certificates for EAP.

    Your only option to allow this work seamlessly is to add a radius server to your environment and point both the instant cluster and controllers at it. You'll still need to manually reconnect the clients.

    Ok, authentication is done with the LDAP server do match with the captive portal.

     

    Accepts the credentials but don´t gives navigation, tomake the process mentioned above.

     

    And given the IAP controller IP 0.0.0.0 to the diveces
