  • 1.  Switch Port Configuration for Bridge Mode SSID

    Posted 4 hours ago

    I am facing issue when switch port is in trunk mode, Aruba AP is not getting registered on Controller. Appreciate your support on below.

    I have Aruba Controller 7210 with AP 655. Controller is acting as DHCP server (option 43 and 60) for AP 655.

    IP helper address is configured on VLAN 2500 for Controller VIP.

    Note: VLAN 2500 is not configured on Controller.

    When Aruba 655 AP is connected with switch port 4 is in access mode, AP 655 is registered on controller. 

    AP 655 E0 Port is connected with Huawei Switch Port 4: (AP get registered to Controller)

    Switch> port default vlan 2500

    Switch> stp edged-port enable

    When Aruba 655 AP is connected with switch port 19 in trunk mode. AP 655 is not getting registered on controller. 

    AP 655 E0 Port is connected with Switch Port 19: (AP not getting registered to Controller)

    Switch> port link-type trunk

    Switch> port trunk pvid vlan 2500

    Switch> port trunk allow-pass vlan 500

    I'm not familiar with those switches, but found with a search that you should put your native (primary) VLAN also in the allowed VLAN list:

    The port trunk pvid vlan command only specifies the default VLAN of a trunk interface but does not add the trunk interface to the default VLAN. A trunk interface forwards frames with the default VLAN ID only after it is added to the default VLAN using the port trunk allow-pass vlan command.

    So, port trunk allow-pass vlan 500,2500 may do the job...

    .. which is not uncommon across some other switch vendors.
