Hey Colin,
Apologies -- I had someone else do the basic ping checks and assumed they were correct. A typical ping to our NPS server is:
(aruba-01) #ping 10.1.1.1
Press 'q' to abort.
Sending 5, 92-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.1, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0.134/0.1638/0.222 ms
One to the DHCP server is:
(aruba-01) #ping 10.1.1.2
Press 'q' to abort.
Sending 5, 92-byte ICMP Echos to 10.1.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 0.135/0.1566/0.213 ms
So it is technically less than 1ms each way. Is there any way to see in Airwave how it gathers/reports these metrics, or is this perhaps a server side issue?
I am going to run a wireshark capture on a device that joins our corporate SSID network to see how long between frames it takes to get a DHCP address.
