Aruba Central

We've come from Extreme to Aruba and recently purchased several AP505s. We would like to set up a dynamic vlan assignment based on a MPSK Local passphrase. I believe I've got most of the settings correct, but when I try to connect, obtaining an IP address from our external DHCP server fails.

I'm wondering if under "VLAN Assignment Rules" I have the wrong "attribute" chosen to determine which MPSK Local passphrase is being used and therefore assign the proper VLAN to the client? Wouldn't the attribute be "Aruba-MPSK-Passphrase"?

At any rate, when I connect to a test SSID that I setup which is unsecured, it gets a DHCP address from our external server without issue. So I suspect I've set something wrong in our Dynamic VLAN assignment.

You just select a role to the MPSK local passphrase. In the role you create a VLAN access rule with the VLAN id needed for that role.
First create the Roles under the security tab.
