ArubaOS 10 Series – Part 4 – Adding CX switch to Central and config of tunnel/mixed mode SSID.

In this video I am going to show you how to add an Aruba CX switch keeping the existing configuration to Aruba Central. Then we are going to configure both a tunnel and mixed mode SSID and show how to tunnel clients to a gateway and in case of mixed mode also how to bridge one client and tunnel the other.

Hi John, do I need to configure the switch into Central to have tunnel SSID's?

Thank you John,
Everyone that is considering using tunnel mode with Cloud Guest be aware that mac-caching won't work. (told by tac)

Many Thanks John, why do you use a separate IP172.20.20.x for System IP and not the vlan 1 IP? Is this Best Practice?

[dv]

Why was a static IP address set on VLAN 1 if we already had a sys-IP on vlan 4000?

I'm wondering how a tunnel traffic(VLAN 200) on 2 APs reaches CX 6100.
