Wireless Access

Hello Team,

we have several cisco switches and  quite a few APs are connected to these switches

this is the configuration on the ports for all the Aruba APs.

switchport trunk native vlan 10

switchport mode trunk

The issue that we are experiencing is flapping between ports on all switches.

I am just wondering what would be the issue, could it be because people on their mobiles moving around the building  and jumping between all the APs ?

thank you.

Can you give a better explanation of what you mean by "flapping between ports on all switches"?

Controller or Instant or AOS 10?  What version of firmware?  What mode is the WLAN configured in?

Hi, yes, sorry

so what I mean when I say flapping is

"host xxxx.xxxx.xxxx in vlan 12 is flapping between port Gi1/0/1 and port Po12"

"host cccc.cccc.cccc in vlan 12 is flapping between port Gi1/0/2 and port Gi1/0/10"

"host cc2c.cc1c.c1cc in vlan 20 is flapping between port Gi1/0/12 and port Gi1/0/10"

in regards of "Controller or Instant or AOS 10?  What version of firmware?  What mode is the WLAN configured in?"

cannot answer as these APs are just connected to our network, and not managed by us. 

I could get all of the information, but what is the purpose of it, is there a known issue with some older firmware versions ?

Thank you

Software version and deployment type for the AP determines whether the AP should be on an access or trunk port.

The MAC addresses that you are seeing as flapping, is that AP or client MAC addresses?

The mac addresses look like client Mac addresses.

Also will find out the version and deployment type, will let you know, thank you
