Wireless Access

Hi guys,

Having an issue with the configuration and installation of an AP225.

We've got a 7220 with IOS version 6.3.1.3

On the Cisco switch side, I'm connecting the AP225 to a cisco 3750 switch.

I've read documentation and posts in here. Unfortunately, still cannot find a solution to my issue.

I've configured etherchannel as per below:

interface Port-channel10
 description ##AP225##
 switchport access vlan 267
 switchport mode access

Interface config

interface FastEthernet1/0/3
 switchport access vlan 267
 switchport mode access
 no snmp trap link-status
 channel-group 10 mode active

interface FastEthernet1/0/4
 switchport access vlan 267
 switchport mode access
 no snmp trap link-status
 channel-group 10 mode active

Etherchannel Summary is showing:

Group  Port-channel  Protocol    Ports
------+-------------+-----------+-----------------------------------------------
10     Po10(SD)        LACP      Fa1/0/3(D)  Fa1/0/4(D)

And this is even before looking into the Aruba controller side of things for the AP needs to boot up first to be able to communicate with the 7220.

Any advise please?

Many thanks

have you set the gre-striping-ip in the system profile?

Hi Michael,

I've set the stripping and I'm getting LACP up. However, the ports don't seem to be participating in LAG and are showing as stand-alone.

Looking at the aruba side, I'm getting:

show ap debug lacp ap-name 225-AC

Can you please assist?

Many thanks in advance...

Just to update that I had static DHCP on the AP.

This is an issue with ArubaOS 6.3.1.3

Once AP was purged, I've provisioned it outside of etherchannel, then added it and all working fine.

You need to do configuration on the Controller side.  Please see the user guide here:  http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_64x_WebHelp/Web_Help_Index.htm#ArubaFrameStyles/AP_Config/LACP_Support_on_AP_220.htm

I would:

- Let the AP find the controller and be up

- Configure the switch side

- Configure the AP side...

- ***The second port on the AP225 will not come up unless you are supplying high-powered POE or using an AC Adapter.

Dear Collin,

The Aruba controller and the switch were already configured as per provided link.

However, I did go through the suggested steps.

The AP System profile on the controller is configures as per below:

ap system-profile "AP225"
   lms-ip 10.181.4.110
   gre-striping-ip 10.181.4.111

As suggested, I've plugged the AP to the switch using 1 cable outside of the port channel. Once AP was seen on Aruba, I've provisioned it with the AP225 profile as per configuration above.

Configured the port channel, added ports to it and plugged AP into the switch This causes the AP to lose its connection to the switch.

A show etherchannel summary gives me:

TEST_SWITCH#sh etherchannel summary

        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)

        M - not in use, minimum links not met
        u - unsuitable for bundling

A sh int status shows the ports as not connected:

Fa1/0/3 notconnect 267 auto auto 10/100BaseTX
Fa1/0/4 notconnect 267 auto auto 10/100BaseTX

However, on the interface intself I'm getting:

REGENTS_GATEWAY_TEST_SWITCH#sh int f1/0/4
FastEthernet1/0/4 is up, line protocol is down (notconnect)

I've consoled into the AP to log the activity and got the below output:

How are you powering the access point?  Without high powered POE, it looks like it is shutting down eth1

AP is plugged into a 3750 POE switch.

Model number: WS-C3750-48PS-S

That switch model only supports standard POE and not POE+, so the second port on the AP will not be brought up.

Hi Collin,

Thanks for the info. I've plugged AP into a 3750X.

I'm getting both ports on AP up. However, they are in stand alone mode.

Switch#sh etherchannel summary

        I - stand-alone s - suspended
        H - Hot-standby (LACP only)
        R - Layer3      S - Layer2
        U - in use      f - failed to allocate aggregator

        M - not in use, minimum links not met
        u - unsuitable for bundling
        w - waiting to be aggregated
        d - default port

10     Po10(SD)        LACP      Gi3/0/39(I) Gi4/0/27(I)

And I'm starting to get link flapping on the Vlan. So rather than having a loop, I've had to shut down one of the ports.

I've run the below command no the Aruba controller and noticed that LAG Member is N/A.

Hi

Are the ports meant to show as standalone? I have still shut down one of the ports due to the Vlan flap messasge in case a loop will be created.

Can you please advise, I think it's almost there..

Many thanks...
