Wireless Access

Hello everyone,

I am looking at enabling the secondary link on our AP-225s. The issue I am having is that after following the instructions in the below link it appears that I am still at a stand still. 

http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_64x_WebHelp/Content/ArubaFrameStyles/AP_Config/LACP_Support_on_AP_220.htm

After assigning an AP profile with the AP System Profile with the GRE/LMS configured it constantly reboots and never creates a connection back to the controller. The AP is connected to a Juniper EX-3300 with the following configuration on both ports.

unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
port-mode trunk;
vlan {
members 10;
}
native-vlan-id 30;
}
}

Here is a sample of the addressing scheme for the LMS/GRE

192.168.11.38 : LMS

192.168.11.39 : GRE

192.168.11.40 : Controller 1

192.168.11.41 : Controller 2 (Future)

Let me know if you need anymore info. I appreciate any insight into my issue. :)

Hello Cappalli,

I was directed by a partner of ours that when using GRE/LMS then its not required to create the AE (LACP) partnership on the ports. However I will give it a shot. 

LACP is mutual. It needs to be configured on both sides.

Alright I've gone through and reconfigured LACP for both ports to the following.

ge-0/0/2 {
ether-options {
802.3ad ae0;
}
}
ge-0/0/3 {
ether-options {
802.3ad ae0;
}
}
ae0 {
aggregated-ether-options {
lacp {
active;
}
}
unit 0 {
family ethernet-switching {
port-mode trunk;
vlan {
members 10;
}
native-vlan-id 30;
}
}

I am able to ping out and access remote subnets from the AP, but I dont show the AP up in the controller. I think I figured out why though. After looking at the logs I see I have the following message.

Feb 8 11:37:01 :311020:  <ERRS> |AP Test-AP@10.1.6.50 sapd|  An internal system error has occurred at file sapd_redun.c function sapd_check_rap_dhcp_pool line 4999 error sapd_check_rap_dhcp_pool: LMS and RAP-DHCP-Server on same subnet c0a80b00.

 I noticed the error when setting it on the controller and fixed it under the AP system profile for this AP Group. However, I haven't changed it on my other AP system profiles being used in other groups, so Im guessing this may still be causing a conflict. We dont use RAPs for anything at the moment, but I will have to wait to the end of day to make this change as these profiles are being used for a production enviroment at the moment. Let me know if I am on the right track or if I've lost my mind. Thanks for all your help.

Hi, 

Did you configure LACP on the two switch (Juniper) ports where the AP is connected? 

Thanks,
