Wireless clients at remote branch and Proxy

    Posted 30 days ago

    I am trying to get our SSID "guest" WIFI clients at a remote branch to go through our proxy. If you are on the same network to the proxy, it is passive. WIFI clients have to go through the MPLS to get to the Proxy. I have to go through the MPLS provider to get any changes made which will cost money. Is there a way to get the IAP 505's using Aruba Central to pass traffic to the proxy over the MPLS. 

    On the IAP System page, I have the proxy info added.

    On the Guest vlans page, I have Client IP assignment set to Instant AP assigned and Internal VLAN.

    On the IAP System page, I am currently using the DHCP for WLANS.

    I attached screen shots of the settings.

    Thanks for any advice.

    one way could be using IAP-VPN, in which you need a Aruba gateway at the head end then you modify your guest WLAN to operate in DHCP Centralised L2.

    This creates a tunnel to the head end gateway for that specific WLAN and clients on it will get their IP addresses from the central DHCP

    If the proxy is happening because the traffic is going through a specific gateway/firewall/appliance at the main site, then IAP-VPN running distributed L3 would also likely work.
