have an Aruba 3200XM controller and I have a RAP-2WG that is located remotely and it has been connecting to the mobility controller fine for several weeks.
They now would like to have another RAP located on their second floor for users who cannot access the RAP because of distance limitations. I configured a RAP3 in my office and tested using an external network. I was able to connect to our local resources as needed. When they took this device to the customer and connected it to the same network as the RAP-2WG it would not connect. As soon as the RAP-2 was disconnected the RAP3 came up without fail.
I would like to be able to connect both devices to the same network yet on separate floors. I assume both floors share the same VLANS, but I do not have access to their network at all.
I thought maybe that the secondary device was acting as a backup or standby unit and that may have been why only one device will work at a time.
One thing I did notice is that on the controller under Monitor-->Controller --> Access Points no matter what RAP they have connected at the remote site the Enet1 column says standby. All of my other RAP devices say Wired Port. When the device was connected to my other external network it said wired.
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would very much appreciate it!
