Is that for Aruba Instant AP? Aruba Controller based AP? Or other brand/type AP and controllers?
For both Instant and Controller based APs it's strongly recommended to use DHCP to reduce configuration and errors, but either should work with static IP addresses.
If it doesn't, and you can't find yourself what the issue is via console/controller/ap logging or packet captures, and you really can't use DHCP, it may be best to work with your Aruba Partner or Aruba Support to find out the issue.

Dears,
