Hi all,
Need some help here about this network issue this is from my customer side.
Thier environment is static ip without dhcp. Currently the ip range 192.168.0.X is finishing soon. That why they have bring in the Aruba controller and Aruba AP.
Currently all setup done complete. All of the switches is unmanage switch.
Aruba Controller manage to provide two DHCP range. Each AP is assign to one profile. We cannot do two ssid for one AP because there are no manage switch to tags the vlans.
SSID
Staff 192.168.201.X - WPA2
Guest is 192.168.202.X - Captive Portal
Both of this subnet manage to ping the firewall.
Both of this subnet manage to ping to server and workstation which is ip range 192.168.0.X
Customer want to access to the file server with ip address 192.168.0.141.
A laptop connected wirelessly to the Staff ssid. manage to get 192.168.201.100.
Ping to internet works fine 8.8.8.8
Ping to firewall works fine
Ping to the file server works fine
but when want to access file server it does not even prompt for username and password cause usually when it is not in the same domain it will prompt this does not happen. (We do not join AD. too much credential and fill in the blanks. The local IT administrator dont know where to get all the details from the AD(ldap)Server) so the Aruba controller is configured without joining AD. "i wonder if aruba can make easier AD integration? too much fill in the blanks"
then i go back to the file server ping back to the laptop 192.168.201.100 not working. (even i use a phone connected to SSID guest manage to go out internet but the file server cannot ping to the guest network 192.168.202.X)
is it they need to do something at the firewall side? We supply the aruba controller and AP only. Do we need to tweak anything at the firewall side? or is there any other setting we need to do at the aruba controller?
* another issue is, see the second image there is another switch located at the warehouse section. when plug in the Aruba AP Controller can find the AP but cannot be provision. is it because they are not plug in directly to aruba controller? So at the warehouse side there is not SSID broadcast.
