Hello everyone,
I had a POC with one Aruba 7008 lately and decided to go for two 7205 for a redundant setup, looking at articles explaning the setup on AOS 6.5.4 it looked "simple". However, the newest AOS 8.2.1.0 got me a bit confused, talking to Aruba support a bit more :(
Initially I setup both as MASTER and configured VRRP with failover, however, the APs (AP-315) never showed up in the controller, so unable to proceed, restoring them back to 6.5.4 worked like a charm.
(Bonus info, then running 8.2.1.0 in master mode, gui shows an alert, mentions "Open flow not supported in master mode, why?)
In short, HP support said the arcitecture had changed and the controllers should be setup as standalone and then using VRRP or HA.
But for me it seems like I have to do all the configurations on both controllers and nothing is synched between controlelrs, so it seems wrong...HA worked very rapidly, but the other controller saw it a "Unapproved until I approved it"...Seems like a lot of work, hence I considere myself de-routed...lol
To sum up, I have 2x 7205 and 20x AP-315, goal is a redundant setup, where I just configure on one controller or at top level for both.
Keywords would be much appreciated :)
Best regards,
