    Hello community,,

    I am an absolute beginner when it comes to aruba switches and have the following problem: Unify AP with 2 ssids should distribute the two networks of a Fritxbox as WLAN via 2 vlans. I have an aruba 2540. how do I have to configure it (cli if possible)?
    Thank you very much!

    If you know how networks/VLANs work, configure the VLANs that you have as tagged or untagged on the ports to your AP an router, where the tagged or untagged depends on how those other devices are configured, and tagged is called trunk allowed vlan in some other products, and untagged as access vlan or trunk native vlan.

    Use the console port and from there (admin login) type MENU... I hope its still available in the "40".

    Everything you need to set up a switch (with the exception of time and date) can be found there.
    The "menu" feature maks it so easy... to bad they got rid of it.
