We recently (two days before freshmen arrived, brilliant) added a second Aruba 
wireless controller (6.2.x), configured master/local. Previously they were an 
active/passive failover pair, but we now have more radios than licenses, so we 
dropped the redundancy. 

DeAuth is not working for clients on the second controller. PacketFence (3.4.x) 
is sending DeAuth packets to the aruba-master interface, which returns 
Disconnect-NAK: Session-Context-Not-Found. I observe that accounting packets 
sent by the secondary local controller include the aruba-master inferface in 
the NAS-IP-Address field. Is this how PacketFence knows where to send the 
DeAuth? 

I have "solved" the problem by hacking at SNMP.pm's radiusDisconnect() to retry 
the secondary controller's IP address if the primary returns NAK. This "works," 
but surely there's a better way. 

Is the Aruba master controller (ArubaOS 6.2.x) supposed to accept and forward 
DeAuth requests for its locals? Currently it's not. Should the local be sending 
its own address in the NAS-IP-Address field? How would I configure that? Or 
should PacketFence consult some mysterious oracle to know whether to send 
DeAuths to the master or the local?
