    I have my controller on VLAN 100 ,when I add the access points on the smae vlan it shwoed up on the controller but when I connect access points in another vlan they didn't show up on the controller and note that the vlans are routeable to each other

    DNS lookup for aruba-master or DHCP option 43/60

    Hi,

     

    Option 60 is used by the AP to send it's name as "ArubaAP". we will register this (ArubaAP) in the DHCP pool with option 60 so that, DHCP will share the master IP over option 43.

    Option 60 should read ArubaAP. It is required by some radius servers. 


    Thanks,

    Hi Friend,

     

    Couple of questions,

    1. Are you able to ping the AP from controller ?

    2. What is the master discovery method you are using ?

     

    If you are able to ping the AP check for PAPI traffic between the controller and the AP ( show datapath session)

     

    Please feel free to come back on this .
