30 sites: One SSID, one vlan global, now one site one SSID two vlans

    Hello,

    we have a customer with around 30 global sites with many SSID's with ClearPass running as a radius server.
    Wireless clusters are all Aruba Instant.

    Now on one SSID, there is one site running out of IP-addresses in that vlan. DHCP server is a Windows server.
    We added a new vlan and subnet, tagged on the ports.
    Now I'm able to get users on the old or the new vlan, not both.

    How do I get this implemented in ClearPass?
    I added a condition to look for the AP name. This works, now all clients receive only an IP-address in the new vlan.

    Could this be done with Aruba Radius attributes?
    I cannot find the correct solution.

    What attributes are you responding with from ClearPass?  Are you responding with a role or VLAN ID/name?  Both?  

    This network REALLY sounds like it could use a re-design.  Aruba Central for management, single SSID across sites, standardized VLAN IDs, and standardized ClearPass policies that rely on roles.

    Now if the user is a domain user, user can connect. I'm responding with a role and the role pushes the user / device to a vlan.

    For this particular site, looking for the AP name.

    The whole customer is standardized.
    same configuration on all sites (vlan id, vlan names, standard clearpass roles etc, complete IP-plan)

    I have to extend the clearpass configuration to get this change done.

    What is your suggestion Ahollifiled?

    So how are they authenticating when it’s not working? What do your ClearPass logs show? Does the role specify a VLAN? What VLAN is not working? What role is sent when the user is a “domain user”? Need some more information here.

    Have ClearPass send back a VLAN name rather than VLAN ID. On the Instant VCs, define what VLAN IDs map to the VLAN Name.
    VLAN "User VLAN" = VLAN 30,40

    That way the policy in ClearPass is standardized, but the "variables" are at the site-level.
