Hi Guys!
We have a large Aruba wireless network, and unfortunately the PEF feature was not enabled at the time of installation. Since we want to use Guest Portal, we are now forced to implement it.
We use external firewalls for traffic filtering, we don't want to do any filtering on the controllers except Guest Portal. For each WLAN we have created a unique role and in the roles we have included the "allowall" policy which allows everything in all directions.
aaa profiles for each WLAN were configured according to the following methodology.
WPA-Enterprise networks:
Initial role: logon (default, not changed)
802.1X Authentication Default Role: the custom role created in the previous step
WPA-Personal networks:
Initial role: unique role created in the previous step
After enabling the PEF feature, we experienced some strange things. On one 802.1x network, clients were assigned the newly configured role. On the other 802.1x network, the clients were given the default guest role, no change in operation there. I tried disabling and enabling the SSID, didn't helped.
What could be the problem, what could cause such an error? Is it necessary to reboot the controllers after enabling the PEF feature?
Software: AOS 8.6.0.11, MM-MD architecture
Thanks!
