  • 1.  Setup of rap having controller in data center and rap across mpls network

    Posted Jan 03, 2012 12:39 PM

    Newbie to Aruba. We have recently pourchased two 650 controllers and several ap105 ap. Our goal is to setup the controllers in our data centers(in redundant/failover mode) and then have the rap in our office locations. There is mpls connectivity between all sites. I am looking for some direction on how we should best set this up? I have yet to find any clear cut instructions on how to set this up. We will have a Internal User ssid( that we want users to be directed to our juniper ras device for auth) and a guest ssid which we want users proxied via our bluecoat proxy server. Thanks for any guidance/help.

    along5664 , here is your strategy:

     

    1. Get instructions on how to setup your Juniper RAS device as  a radius server for PEAP (the ArubaOS user Guide has config information for Microsoft IAS, if you want to use that instead).

    2.  Setup your Juniper RAS device as a Radius Server (Configuration> Security> Authentication> Radius Server> Add)

    3.  Test your Juniper RAS device with user credentials using AAA test-server (Diagnostics> AAA Test-Server).

    4.  Run the WLAN/LAN Wizard (Config > WLAN Wizard) and configure a WPA2-AES SSID that points to the existing radius server that you setup in #2

    5.  Setup an a-record of "aruba-master"  in DNS and point the ip address at your controller so that your APs find your controller.

    6.  When we get everything above, we can discuss the remote strategy.
