From how I understood their APs, Aruba’s instant on refers to the ability to configure the devices without a dedicated controller. Not necessarily how quickly the devices boot up.
I liked your video. Looks like you posted this about 2 weeks ago. Probably enough time for you to get the full migraine from the VLAN issues on that switch. Have you run into issues with the VLAN’s not passing DHCP from your firewall? I’ve been desperately searching for answers on this and you’re the only person I’ve found that has setup VLAN’s on these switches the right way.
@@jarenhavell Yessir, I am a senior level engineer at an MSP firm and we deploy and manage Watchguard firewalls. The network I was originally designing it for is a warehouse environment with 22 wireless AP’s (the Aruba AP22 models). We were restructuring and decided to create a couple VLAN’s to help manage the new load of clients that will soon be eating through DHCP. I created 2 new VLAN’s and assigned them to the switch and then through the AP’s via the cloud-web UI. Seemed to be fine… the native VLAN’s work but any other VLAN’s that get assigned to any SSID do not pass DHCP to the client. After reading it looks like it’s a known issue with Aruba and they haven’t done anything to address it it several years which is very disappointing.
I looked into it, but failed to get back to you. No issues in our deployment, all worked exactly as it should... I'm sorry that I couldn't help, but we were also using Unifi Access points...perhaps the issue was with the APs not the switch?
I do not believe it has a CLI. it will take DHCP or if you wait long enough it might have a pre-configured address, I don't have this device anymore so I can't double check for you!
@@jarenhavell Yea, just had on 1930 24 Port, it has no IP, it is on DHCP, the device is really not good, very loud fan, and this Instant on, i had 3 times longer to configure, compared with a Cisco with Console Cable.🤯
In a production network where 50 Poe switches are there how can we identify there IP address ? and as per my understanding untagged means Access port and tagged means Trunk Is it correct Sir ?
If you have 50 switches on a network, they are not all going to be on the same subnet (unless it's the management subnet, I suppose) you are going to manually configure each of those units as you install them, or, if they got an IP by DHCP, you could look at the MAC address sticker on the back. As for "access" and "trunk" that language varries between vendors - HP calls it something slightly different than Cisco. A "tagged" interface means that ip packets have a tag or or given a tag as they pass thru. An untagged interface means the blank identifier is removed and the interface is now exclusively used for that vlan. A trunk port is a little confusing as different vendors over the years use that term differently, sometimes all the networks on a trunk are tagged, other times the native vlan is still untagged and everything else is tagged. There are also default settings related to spanning tree and how long it takes for the port to negotiate if it will pass traffic or not, and that's its own topic for how vendors implement STP. Learning vlans is more or less something you need to do hands on in order to best understand. Get some old switches and start playing!
Hello I follow your step to create flan but doesn’t register on my network and doesn’t get to the internet. Any suggestions or new video to full configure vlan please
you need to plug it in and wait longer. I waited 8+ minutes for the lights to stop flashing. Then you should be able to go into your DHCP server and find the ip address and you can follow along with my video to set up a vlan. ua-cam.com/video/78y66Gak7WM/v-deo.html Unfortunately, If you can't get logged in, that's not something I can help with...perhaps try using the app or reaching out to aruba support.

@@xslr upvote for visibility, but I still think it's ironic and comically amusing.
good daay. what a nice - 😯

oh dear. that's not a good sign. That's a pretty basic function of a managed switch. have you used VLANs before? what is the layout for your network?

@@ehuffstutlar I'll be looking into this first chance I get.

So if i understand that, "Instant on" is take a DCHP Address dynamically, not has any IP preconfigured?
Does this "very smart" device also has a CLI?
I do not believe it has a CLI.

In the InstantOn Product line, there is NO CLI...!
Only Web management in Local Mode and Web and App management in Cloud mode...
Nice video ! But you have internet connexion in your vlan 20 and 30 ?
