Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Anyone else seeing any issues in the fall with 
large classrooms and delayed connection times (Aruba 8.5.0.13)

Is your backend (controllers - Radius) all jumbo frame clean?  We've seen issues
with large EAP-TLS packets getting fragmented.

We also had a specific OS8 release bug affecting AP-515s specifically, but it 
seems
like we're in perpetual bug-chasing mode so I can't recall what version that 
was.
(Probably 8.5 something)

(edit: I just saw the 8.5.0.13 in the subject.   You may have to move away from 
that..)

This is a stab in the dark.  With the University mostly shutdown since the 
Spring of 2020 (=not operating in standard mode and most people work from 
home), we got campus upgraded from 6.X to 8.X code base.  We've also installed 
many 515 series APs.  We are getting a large number of complaints in large 
classrooms that connecting to things like eduroam takes a long time.  Looking 
into the connection, we see many incomplete RADIUS challenges.  The general 
complaints are 'we come into the classroom, and for some folks it can take up 
to 5 minutes to get connected'.  The odd thing is that our RADIUS 
infrastructure is very large, polished and load shared, and we can see no 
performance issues with any of the RADIUS servers.  We have begun reducing 
power in the large classrooms to make association issues better, but so far 
that hasn't changed much.  We anticipate opening a ticket with Aruba, soon.  We 
do seem to see the most complaints in the big classrooms.  But I do keep going 
back to the RADIUS Challenges incomplete.  I know if no reason for those not to 
complete unless the connection is broken midway.

Has anyone else seen something like this?
