I we¹ve experienced this a few times so I thought I¹d put it up to post: There are times of heavy usage where our Aruba controller stops allowing DHCP requests from the LAN port it continues to allow DHCP via the Aruba Access points but will not respond to any DHCP over the fast Ethernet port. Also, once it starts it will no longer do DHCP over that port regardless of load.
We are running Aruba OS 3.3.1.9 and rebooting the controller fixes the issue, but alas this isn¹t a fix at all as far as we are concerned. We are thinking that we may have to move to a real DHCP server as opposed to the internal and just allow it to forward dhcp, the issues but we arent sure that this will fix the issue as if it¹s dropping DHCP the obviously it wont allow the forward to happen either. Any suggestions? Has anyone ran into this? Thanks!
