Aruba AP DNS Issue

  • 1.  Aruba AP DNS Issue

    Posted Oct 18, 2021 10:27 AM
    So, In the last 6 months I have switched my base location to all Aruba 505 AP's. They have been running well until about a month ago. Every once in a while one person will report on Wifi that they have no internet access.

    I finally got it to happen to my laptop. I have an IP Address and DNS Servers resolved from my DHCP. But no internet access, I try to ping my local DNS off my mac and it tells me host not available and no route to host. But I can have a second computer running off the same AP with no issues. If I restart the wifi it connects back.

    Any one seen this before? or have any idea what is could be?

    I suggest to upgrade to the latest version in that train (8.6.0.14) and see if that resolves your issue.
    there has been a number of datapath fixes since the 8.6.0.2

    I tried updating and it says I am already running the recommended version.

    Is there away to force the update?

    I use Aruba Central, and I found how to change the recommended firmware. They are all running the update. I will see how it goes over the next few business days.

    This is very strange. Please open a TAC case to get to the bottom of this.
