Aruba 303 iPhone/iPad not connecting

  • 1.  Aruba 303 iPhone/iPad not connecting

    Posted Nov 14, 2023 06:35 PM

    I am setting up an Aruba 303 AP.  I added a guest network that using the virtual controller to assign ip address.  Windows machines connect fine but any iPad or iPhone will not get an ip address.  I am guessing there is some setting I can change to fix this but not sure where to look.

    are these devices not getting an IP address or because you might not have a public HTTPS server on the IAP, they are refusing to connect?

    It shows they are getting an IP address on the aruba but nothing shows for IP on the apple devices.  I do not have any captive portal.  Just a SSID and password.  Windows devices get an ip, default gateway, and the public DNS I assigned to the virtual controller and has access to the internet just fine.

    What does the output of

    show clients status <mac>

    shows?

    What OS Version are you using?
    Do you use the internal DHCP Server or an external?

    That is the status output.  I am using the virtual controller to assign IP address and using 8.8.8.8 as the DNS.  For Client VLAN assignment I am using default.

    You are right, normally you should see this at the end of the output:

    Rap Bridge User Table
---------------------
action  ip             mac                aclnum  bssid              essid        vlanid  wired
------  --             ---                ------  -----              -----        ------  -----

    Here the IP Address of the client is stated.

    Can you show outputs from:
    show dhcp-allocation

    show network <ssid_name>

    From you screenshot above I cannot see any Client - or there was none connected - which has an IP Address allocated.

    Let us see what pappens if the Apple Device connects. Please open a serial connection and issue some packet Capturing commands:

    # debug pkt type dhcp

    # debug pkt dump

    And after that try to connect an iPhone

    And an offer (IP) will be provided:

    I think I fixed the issue.  Under Configuration -> Networks I edited the guest network.  On the first page click on show advanced options on the bottom and scroll down to Deny inter user bridging and enable it.  Now my iOS devices will connect using the virtual controller no problem.  Thanks everyone for taking the time to look into this.
