Resurrecting a two-year-old thread:

1) Please patch upstream to allow wired connections on Aruba radios. All models 
of Aruba controller do this. All Aruba radios with at least two Ethernet ports 
can support wired profiles. 93H was specifically designed to be a wired hub.

2) I still don't have a way for Aruba to flap the link. This is not 
PacketFence's problem. To get the device's attention, they need to reboot or at 
least physically unplug and reseat the Ethernet cable.

Confirmed:

  printf "NAS-IP-Address=$controller\nCalling-Station-Id=$mac\n" | radclient -x 
$controller:3799 disconnect $radsecret

will cause the Aruba controller to drop the association for wired clients, just 
like wireless. RADIUS MAC-Auth and VLAN reassignment will be triggered by the 
client's next packet.

So, what I want to know is what sort of changes I need to make to (hopefully 
just) Aruba.pm to get those disconnect packets sent.

I'm also asking Aruba if there's some way to flap link. There might not be, but 
I can live with that. Registration->NormalVLAN can be handled by setting the 
registration DHCP timeout really short. I won't want to do that for normal 
VLAN, but I don't care so much if NormalVLAN->Isolation or 
NormalVLAN->Registration transitions cause loss of connectivity.
