  • 1.  Wireless Virtual Controller and VLAN's.

    Hey all, I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

     

    I am struggling with a problem that involves VLAN's and the new wireless infrastructure. Internet connectivity is currently stable on only one VLAN (voice vlan). The other VLAN's either have very unstable internet connectivity or nothing at all. They receive DHCP addresses without a problem.

    Here is a brief overview of the network.

     

    Fortigate 40F (192.168.22.1) at the Edge. Aruba 2930F(192.168.22.254) as the Layer 3 switch + inter-vlan routing. 2530's as access layer switches. Aruba 303 wireless AP's with a virtual controller. Windows Server doing DHCP (192.168.22.5)

     

    I have a handful of VLAN's configured on the 2930F and the 2530's. The VLAN's I have are: 

    192.168.22.0/24 (MGMT/VLAN 1)

    192.168.25.254/24 (Students/VLAN 250)

    192.168.20.254/24 (Internal-Wireless/VLAN 200)

    172.31.30.254/24 (VOIP)

     

    The VOIP vlan works with no issues. Can get out to the internet, make calls to other phones, etc. However, the other VLAN's which are mainly for wireless devices will not get internet or have a very unstable connection. Is there a setting that I need to configure in the virtual controller? The ports that the access points are connected to have the appropriate VLAN's tagged to them. 

     

    I can post switch configs if needed.

    Without the switch configurations and a description of what is connected where, it will indeed be hard to say anything about this.

    The Aruba 2930F is connected to the Fortigate on Port 1. Our ESXi server is also connected to this switch on ports 2-6. Uplinks to other switches are on ports 24-25.

    Here's my 2930F config. The 2930F is connected to the Fortigate on Port 1. Access switches are uplinked on ports 24-25, and our ESXi host is connected to ports 2-6 I believe (will have to double check).
