Sometimes features that are covered under a license pack are 'early available' without the enforcement. The fact that you can use the features without the advanced license pack doesn't necessarily mean that the license is not needed, or that the license will not be enforced when you upgrade the firmware in the future.
Something similar happened with the application visibility feature.

Hello Kamal,
You are right, avb needs license to use but license seems to be enabled anyway without advanced pack...
I will contact my sales rep now.
Thank you for your help.

OK at least you have made some progress :-)
by running
(config)avb
(config-avb)enable
also sets up gptp for vlan 2 "automagicaly "
or you can set up the profile as you did
For AVB a feature pack (license) is required you should check with your account team about this whom can confirm
"show feature-pack" can confirm this

Hello Kamal,
At the moment AVB is "standard feature" in 6300M multirate switches so no need for additional licenses (thank god for that :D)
On top of above configuration there is need to configure gPTP boundary clock but all was already fine BUT it seems that there is need to configure mvrp too into avp ports (I think it creates dynamic vlans used by avb devices?!?)
After adding mvrp it seems to work but sound guys has time to debug it in next week.

I assume you have the licensee for AVB ?
I would raise a TAC case but see some suggestions below
For QOS please apply the following
switch(config)# qos queue-profile avbQprofile
switch(config-queue)# map queue 4 local-priority 7
switch(config-queue)# map queue 4 local-priority 6
switch(config-queue)# map queue 3 local-priority 5
switch(config-queue)# map queue 3 local-priority 4
switch(config-queue)# map queue 2 local-priority 3
switch(config-queue)# map queue 2 local-priority 2
switch(config-queue)# map queue 1 local-priority 1
switch(config-queue)# map queue 0 local-priority 0
switch(config)# qos schedule-profile msrp-profile
switch(config-schedule)# strict queue 4
switch(config-schedule)# dwrr queue 3 weight 1
switch(config-schedule)# dwrr queue 2 weight 1
switch(config-schedule)# dwrr queue 1 weight 1
switch(config-schedule)# dwrr queue 0 weight 1
switch(config-schedule)# exit
switch(config)# apply qos queue-profile avbQprofile schedule-profile msrp-profile
Also best to use the "automagic" :) avb configuration which will use the vlan 2 as the default AVB VLAN
(config)avb
(config-avb)enable
make sure vlan 2 is allowed on the trunks.
enable PTP and MSRP on ports
End point (clients) must also be trunk ports
i.e
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#no shut
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#no routing
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#vlan trunk native 1
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#vlan trunk allowed 1,2
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#msrp
(config-if-1/1/5,1/1/27)#exit
some trouble shooting commands
show msrp streams
show avb int br
show avb domain

Hello Herman,
I kind of knew (and afraid) that there is not that many people there who has used AVB with Aruba devices at first place so this was kind of shoot in the dark question...

This A/V networking is quite specific, and my experience is that knowledge is limited to people that actually used it. I haven't used it myself, so can't really help.
If you want to do more investigations yourself, there are quite a lot technical videos here that cover PTP features in different AOS-CX versions.
Otherwise, unless someone with practical experience reading this, maybe it's best to work with TAC and start troubleshooting what's going on and if it's related to the switch or other equipment.
