Hey Everyone!
This is my first post in the community. I was previously a Cisco wireless engineer however I now work with the Aruba platform... Back when I was working with the Cisco WLC solution I identified a couple of bugs where when DCA was triggered the 3800 series APs would reload, this was of course a major issue as they provided coverage for a crucial area of my building. Now... I was experiencing some massive packet drop issues in one of my Aruba sites which was determined to be aesthetic until it impacts connectivity of users - I don't like that answer but that's not the point. I was told by a TAC engineer that its possible the packet loss could be due to DCA because when a DCA event is triggered on Aruba APs it not only resets BOTH radios, but will also reboot the access point completely. This can't be correct - right? If this is correct it seems like a massive flaw in design. Can anyone weigh in on this? I can't seem to find any good documentation regarding Aruba and how it handles DCA/UNII-2 Extended channel ranges.
Thanks!
