Wireless Instability issues?

2020-01-10 Thread John Rodkey
Are others who are using Aerohive 650 experiencing instability issues? We have experienced a rather extensive problem that came with sudden onset about 1/4/2020 . Clients appear to be able to connect to the AP, get an IP and are able to ping the default gateway, but not beyond. The ethernet

Hello Craig, Thanks for your comments. Our main philosophy with the ANYROAM guest system is security and simplicity (no password-only certs, one config per device for one year). ANYROAM-guest can also be enabled per institution (opt-in) (unlike eVA unless you customize at the NRO level), Most

* "The new announced "E" variant with access to the 6 GHz space and the 14 additional 80 MHz channels. All of those pre-11ax AP's are probably obsolete, and we'll have 11ax clients that can't access those channels, making use of them challenging despite the obvious benefit. I don't view it

I try to remind myself that EDU’s (Higher ed in particular) are outliers. We want to buy the cutting-edge WiFi technology, but at the same time, we have the most diverse of environments that will absolutely cause every lurking bug or compatibility issue to come out of the shadows. While it

Question: Do those of You who experience this frustration in scale have reason to suspect compatibility issues between .ax-Aruba-code/features to be a root cause? We don‘t notice significant .ax client adoption. (being an Aruba shop, but not in scale). AFIK even a lage scale event like the

> "To me, 11ax APs shouldn't even be on the Enterprise market yet." I 100% agree with that sentiment. At the same time, I can imagine the response an Aruba or Cisco would get for waiting to offer those access points. Even offering the AP alongside official guidance to disable the feature would

Hi Norman, We are using aruba 515/35 APs that use .ax technology. I also did not turn of the .11ax feature sets. The link below is what we used to provide to our students for Intel drivers and has been successful.

FWIW, some of the most bizarre issues I've ran into with Aruba APs have been related to: - MTUs on the path - Reassembly of packets - Out of order fragments - LLDP - tx, beacon, basic radio rates Some things to look into if the 5GHz radio drop can be deterministically

I would agree with this, generally Aruba TAC are OK, they do have some bad 1st line engineers, but once you get past 1st line they are usually OK. If you can get an escalation to the ERT guys, then they tend to be really good. We have around 450 AP's and currently run 8.5.0.4 and have rolled
