With newly HW replased to Aruba switches with implemented 802.1X authentication at our offices, we are facing the issue of printer going to standby and after aprox. 10min the MAC of the printer disapiered from the port.
When this happens it's not possible to print until the Printer's port is shut/no shut.
On the printers sleep mod is OFF and before on the Cisco switches its worked perfectly
