    Hello All, I have some questions regarding Aruba 2930F layer 3 operation and features, and appriciate any help.

     

    1 - Does the ip level features are available for configuration on the webgui (routing, interfaces ip's, dhcp, etc)? If so how do I get them on GUI (for the moment only CLI)?

    2 - Does this switch model supports an interface to work as I pure layer3 interface or is that only supported by creating SVI's (vlan interfaces)?

    3 - Upon a DHCP pool with range/subnet is it possible to exclude some ip addresses from the pool (excluded-address ...) -- don't get that command?

    4 - do you know or have a sample of a DHCP database that we could pull into the switch for operation as a DHCP server (ip addr leasings to clients) instead of defining pools and single static ip-mac binding per pool (don't find anywhere the database layout/structure to be imported and applyed by the switch)!?

     

    best regards, and thanks in advance

    Hi,

     

    There are 3 options you have to furfill to let the Aruba switch route.

     

    * Setup ip default gateway

    * Setup ip in vlan's (which will be routed)

    * Enable ip routing on switch

     

    I assume the DHCP service of the switch is just a lite DHCP server, no special things are available. Best practice is to let a server or firewall do the DHCP service. Much more stable.

     

    Kind regards,

    Thomas
