  • 1.  Missing client hostname in Aruba Central

    Posted Oct 19, 2023 11:04 AM

    Hello,

    We have some 6100 and 6200F switched centrally managed by Aruba Central, and we enabled "client track ip" via multiedit both at global and at VLAN levels. We do see clients IPs but we cannot see their hostnames. I confirm primary DNS is a local DNS, assuming that it might perform an nslookup.

    Do you have any clue, please?

    Thanks,
    Luca

    generally thats is what is needed. what firmware version are you running ? and do you see the client IP addresses from the CLI?

    Hello Ariyap,

    we're on 10.10.1040 and I confirm we do see IPs
    I will keep you posted, since there might be an issue not related to Aruba Central. I'll update this ticket.

    Thanks,
    Luca

    also note that 10.10.1090 is the latest maintenance firmware for it.

    check the release notes for resolved issues.

     I had this same issue, with AOS-CX switches you need to use 

     
    client track ip
    client device-fingerprint profile a
        lldp
        cdp
        dhcp

    then

    interface 1/1/1
        no shutdown
        no routing
        vlan trunk native 1
        vlan trunk allowed all
        loop-protect
        client device-fingerprint apply-profile a

    Hello all,

    MojoPBS: do you think fingerprinting is mandatory? Because according to What is Device Fingerprinting? How do you configure Device Fingerprinting in ArubaOS-Switch? | Wired Intelligent Edge (arubanetworks.com) it seems prerequisites are ClearPass certificate installation and Radius server configuration.

    Ariyap: I confirm the setting "client track ip" alone doesn't populate the hostname, even if dnslookup works.
    Concerning upgrading from 10.10.1040 to 10.10.1090, I'm checking release notes since according to Aruba Central portal, 10.10.1040 is the reccomended version.

    Regards,
    Luca
