We are in the testing stages of replacing our soon to be EOL 215 series access points with the new 635 series. These 2 models are incompatible due to firmware versions and need to be on separate vlans for their controllers to work correctly.
Our access switches are configured to profile AP devices and give them the correct VLAN information. Where I am getting stuck is that the new APs keep getting placed into the profile for old APs. I've matched the OUI for the profile to what wireshark's lookup tool says for the OUI based on the mac address of the new APs. However, the OUI in use for the older APs does not match the start of the mac address as wireshark claims it should. So I'm guessing that the OUI of 000b86 is some kind of aruba catch-all or parent oui. Curiously even if I disable the profile for the OUI used for old APs, the new AP still is not profiled by the OUI of 946424.
I'm sure this is something simple where I'm missing some small but key piece of information. Obviously, I can always just change the vlan config on the profile for the OLD AP model and just roll from there since it is catching the new APs. But I would like to be able to have both models profiled correctly to make the deployment of 100+ access points simpler by not having to ensure every AP connected to a switch gets swapped at the same time simply because of a minor config hurdle.
