Are your switches in Airwave as well?
Do you see the APs as LLDP neighbors from the switch CLI?
What is not 100% clear to me.. does it work for Cisco AP but not for Aruba AP? Or don't you see the topology for any of the APs?
There is a setting for the APs to transmit and to receive LLDP. If you configured receive, but not transmit, you can see the switch port info from the AP, but the switch cannot see the AP info. You may need to enable LLDP transmit, if you haven't yet.

Subject: Displaying Campus AP LLDP neighbor in Airwave
Hello everyone,
I have a Airwave server running version 8.2.13, and several Mobility Masters/Controllers in version 8.8.0.2.
I would like to display LLDP neighbor information of each Campus AP in Airwave device monitor. I guess that this information should be in the section Device > monitor > Neighbors, but this section is empty for my Aruba APs. The fields Upstream Device and Upstream Ports are also empty in the device details. Every other fields are populated properly.
But I am also monitoring some Cisco LW APs in Airwave, and in that case their CDP neighbor information is shown correctly
LLDP is globaly activated on all our devices, and the AP's LLDP neighbor information is collected properly on the Mobility Controllers:
show ap lldp neighbors
AP LLDP Neighbors (Updated every 60 seconds)

ap-b26-xxx eth0 0 xxxxxx.hub.priv Gi1/0/47 ap xxxxxx B
ap-b26-xxx eth0 0 xxxxxx.hub.priv Gi1/0/43 ap xxxxxx B
I am missing some parameters in the mobility master configuration or in airwave configuration ?
Thanks in advance
