I an evaluating an Aruba IAP as replacements for our HP units, and I cannot get the IAP to pass the DHCP packets after the wireless client has authenticated.
This network network does not use VLANs, and has a server physically connected with RADIUS and DHCP servers. Clients are authenticated by MAC address to the RADIUS server.
I started out with a factory reset APIN0207 firmware 6.5.4.3_61959 and configured a single network:
Primary Usage: Employee
Client IP: Network Assigned
Client VLAN: Default
Security: Open (MAC authentication configured)
Access Rules: Unrestricted
The Access Point "ap-test" is set up as a static ip address with the rest as default.
When I connect a client to the AP, I see the MAC authetication succeed on the RADIUS server, and the AP shows the client - see attached file "show-client-debug.txt". However, the "DHCP Status" is always "Discovering".
I have a DHCP packet dump from the AP "debug-pkt-type-dhcp.txt" which shows the client's DHCP packets being received by the AP and the being dropped.
I obviously need to tell the AP to pass packets to the wired network port after MAC authentication, but I cannot work out how to.
