  • 1.  RAP AP Configuration

    Posted Jul 11, 2023 06:39 AM

    Hi All,

    I need to configure aruba ap as an RAP ap to connect to controller through internet i have 2 MC connected VRRP. my controller is published through firewall with dedicated port as i have only one public ip on firewall.so during converting AP to RAP I have to set public ip with port ?

    RAPs can only connect on udp/4500. If you forward udp port 4500 on the firewall to your controllers, that should work fine.

    Note that gateway clusters (under MCR/MM) require their own public IP (or port forward for udp/4500 on different public IPs). HA/VRRP should work with just a single public IP.

    I'm not a Fortinet expert, but this looks like you are port forwarding UDP port 4500 on your external port (wan) to 192.168.10.100 (your controller, or the VIP) on the same port 4500. That is what I would do as well.

    No additional config needed, if the udp 4500 traffic reaches the controller through the NAT on your firewall.

    That is except if you have controller clusters with a mobility conductor, in which case you would need to configure the public IP for each of the controllers so the RAP can reach both of them. With single controller or controller HA/VRRP that is not needed.
