Aruba Mobility Controller

Configuration Guide

 

VIEW Certified

Network Topology

The following topology was tested during VIEW Certification testing.

Deployment Description

It is required that voice users be placed on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 10) and data users on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 25). The voice and data VLANs reside on the Aruba mobility controller and not on the access points (APs). The user traffic is tunneled back to the Aruba controller for processing. The edge network thus does not have to be modified to accommodate the WiFi clients and the VoWiFi network. Map each VLAN to a unique subnet. The mobility controller (switch) IP address needs to be set via the loopback interface setting. The Controller’s loopback address must be a routable address so that the APs can reach this address.

Interface setting

Identify the mobility controller port that serves as the uplink port for the data VLAN. The port used in this example is Fast Ethernet 1/0 and is a trunk port with both the voice and data VLAN.

Default route

The L3 switch connected to the Aruba controller serves as the default gateway for all the WiFi clients. Configure the default route to the next-hop gateway connected to the mobility controller.

Physical interface

All interfaces that connect to the core networks, routers, servers and gateways need to be set as trusted ports.
