Configuring an AP135 as an RAP

    Posted Nov 27, 2014 02:52 PM

    Currently the network I manage has as many AP's as it does RAP'S. We had a power issue last night where as 3 of our RAP-155 got shorted out. 

     

    These locations needs a RAP and I dont have anymore in stock. All I have are some RAP-5WN but becasue of my controllers version they wont take the upgrade.

     

    I have configured an AP135 as a remote AP for the time being. Wireless is braodcasting fine but there are some devices that require a hardline. 

     

    Question is there a way to enable ETH1 on the AP135 to issue DHCP from the contoller as ETH0 is currrently the uplink or some work-around to this issue until I can receive some more RAP-155.

     

    Controllers are all 3600's running Version 6.3.1.8.

     

    Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

    Hi,

     

    It is very easy to configure e1 port of AP135, follow the steps bellow.

    we need to configure Wired AP profile under AP--> wired-ap 

    use the following commands to configure the profile,

     

    ap wired-ap-profile <profile-name>
    forward-mode bridge
    wired-ap-enable


    Optionally, you can configure the following wired AP profile settings:


    ap wired-ap-profile <profile-name>
    switchport mode {access | trunk}
    switchport access vlan <vlan>
    switchport trunk native vlan <vlan>
    switchport trunk allowed vlan <vlan>
    trusted

     

    After this map the profile to AP--Wired AP by using the following command.

     

    (Aruba3200) (config) #ap wired-ap-profile <profile-name>

     

     

    Hope your issue can be resolved now :)

     

    Cheers,

     

    Venu
