ok thanks for clarification. Aruba-Device-Type is a RADIUS VSA that identifies a client based on its Operating System.
Aruba controllers and IAPs send Aruba-Device-Type radius attrib automatically, you don't need to configure it.
so you should see it for all the RADIUS requests coming from them.
Here is the screenshot of access tracker from ClearPass that shows a basic dot1x request coming from an IAP.

Subject: ARUBA-DEVICE-TYPE ATTRIBUTE TO A EXTERNAL DEVİCE
Hello,
The device attribute type attribute is not sended by the RADIUS server we use. We saw it in the RADIUS Server's log files. And they told us that the ARUBA Controller is the one sending them this information. But the other SSID not seem to send this because they can not see it in the logs. The only difference with the SSID's is the one we saw the attribute in the RADIUS servers log file is in tunnel mode. The other one is in bridge. So i thought this might be the reason but i am not sure. Thank you.

so if one of your 3rd party RADIUS servers are sending different RADIUS attrib to Aruba controllers even though the Aruba controller has the same configuration for all the AAA servers then you should look at the RADIUS server logs for clues.

Hello,
I have a external 3rd Party NAC device which returns a different VLAN for a device type in my wireless environment. I have different AP Groups in different locations. I configured different SSID's but exact same AAA server as my NAC device. One of them seems to send the aruba-device-type attribute the other one doesn't send it. I didn't understand the reason. But i need to have them both send the device types. Does anyone have an idea about this?
