  • 1.  LACP configuration for new ap in existing setup

    Posted Dec 18, 2018 04:38 AM

    Hi,

    We have existing Aruba 7210 controller(AOS 6.5.4.1 Master-Local) and IAP325(converted as AP) with single ethernet link. Now we want to add IAP325(converted as AP) with dual link in existing setup.

    Kindly suggest(URL/Link) how can i deploy AP with dual link in existing setup. i want to use same AP profile for new AP

    Thank you..

    Read the Link Aggregation Support section in the ArubaOS 6.5.4 User Guide (page 594 onwards) to set this up.

    This will help you to configure LACP at the controller.

    At the switch, use dynamic LACP

    Hi,

     

    Do i need to create new AP profile to use both ethernet inteface on AP325? In my existing setup i am using AP325 with single ethernet link.

     

    Is their any port connectivity sequence i need to follow while connecting LACP ethernet link on AP325?

     

    Thank you

    Please read the article here carefully:  https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Controller-Based-WLANs/Do-we-have-radio-port-redundancy-on-AP-LACP-GRE-striping-IP-and/ta-p/239920  The access point gets the LACP configuration information when it comes up in an ap-group with LACP configuration.  The controller also requires an additional ip address to point the access point to.

     

    *Since this is an AP-325, it requires high powered POE to be able to bring up the second port.  Since it is also a 325, there is no power redundancy, so if one ethernet port goes down, the AP has to reboot before sending traffic through the other port.  The LACP advantage is only effective in very limited circumstances on the AP-325 due to the lack of power redundancy.  It is also effective in limited circumstances for additional throughput, because few WLAN setups will actually exceed 1 gigabit of actual throughput.

    Hi,

    I have configured below details....are they correct?

     

    On Master controller

    lms-ip 10.105.6.10

    gre-striping-ip 10.105.6.26

     

    On Local controller

    lms-ip 10.105.6.10

    gre-striping-ip 10.105.6.27

     

    Thank you...

    We have deployed Aruba switches in our setup and AP is perfectly working fine even if any LACP port goes down. i can say we have achieved link failover using LACP.

    Thank you..
