Hi, I would like to ask about Layer 3 Roaming. Below is an example of my setup.
Controller 1 - Master 10.10.1.2
Controller 2 - Standby 10.10.1.3
VIP: 10.10.1.1
Controller 3 - Local 1 10.10.1.4
Serving Level 1 Access Points
SSID: STAFF ---->VLAN 101 Subnet: 10.50.0.0 255.255.254.0
Guest ---->VLAN 701 Subnet: 10.100.0.0 255.255.254.0
Controller 4 - Local 2 10.10.1.5
Serving Level 2 Access Points
SSID: STAFF ---->VLAN 102 Subnet: 10.50.2.0 255.255.254.0
Guest ---->VLAN 702 Subnet: 10.100.2.0 255.255.254.0
Controller 5 - Local 3 10.10.1.6
Serving Level 3 Access Points
SSID: STAFF ---->VLAN 103 Subnet: 10.50.3.0 255.255.254.0
Guest ---->VLAN 703 Subnet: 10.100.3.0 255.255.254.0
Controller 6 - Local 4 10.10.1.7
Serving Level 4 Access Points
SSID: STAFF ---->VLAN 104 Subnet: 10.50.4.0 255.255.254.0
Guest ---->VLAN 704 Subnet: 10.100.4.0 255.255.254.0
After setting up all AP groups and SSID's with different VLANS and subnets I tested the Wifi in Level 1, all is good internet is okay. Until I walked to Level 2 then I noticed that I can't do anything even if I am connected to wifi. I suspected it has something to do with L3 roaming. I went through the user guide and came across mobility domain, so I set up mobility domain with the help of the user guide. So far it is working, I can roam from level to level. However when I roam to another level I can't ping the
virtual IP which is 10.10.1.1, but I can ping the actual IP of the controllers. For me this is fine as long as I can reach the actual IP of the Master. My question is that, am I doing the right approach in L3 roaming by doing Mobility Domain or is there a better and simpler way of doing it?
My controllers are Aruba 7210 (Master, Standby) and Aruba 7220 (Locals), version 6.2.0. AP's are 135.
