Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] [EXTERNAL] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless Scanning Apps

[Lionel Shigemura]

Apple restricts access to system functions so the options are limited.
Apple's AirPort Utility has basic scanning features, but must be enabled in
the app settings, "WiFi Scanner".  It offers MAC, RSSI, and channel info.

The Android Aruba App is good.  We have MetaGeek's WiSpy Air solution.  It
uses a proprietary external wireless NIC that attaches to a device.  This
is a workaround to Apple's built-in hardware/software restrictions.  The
Air Viewer App offers similar features as inSSIDer and is considered a
"lightweight spectrum analyzer".

I would stick with AirPort Utility for basics since it's very convenient
and simple.  Less accessories to carry unless I do more in-depth
troubleshooting.  Then, I would take my laptop and test sets.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Oberon 1044 Recessed Suspended Ceiling mount experiences

[Lionel Shigemura]

We originally deployed the Oberon 1052 cut-out plate mount for Aruba AP-135
about 8 years ago with good results.  Last year, we converted the mount to
the 105x, large cover kit with a generic grid clip mounting system.  This
allows us to use various AP models that can physically fit in the existing
box, but use a ceiling grid clip mount for versatility.  It won't fit the
massive AP-555, but should work with the AP-535.  It may work for various
Cisco models, but confirm with Oberon for options.  The large cover unit
works well for us in standard and high density AP deployments.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba version 8 (Mobility Master) and AP-115 access points

[Lionel Shigemura]

I'm in the same boat.  Looking at a Summer upgrade to MM from 6.5.3.x.  I
have inquired about moving from ARM to Airmatch for intermittent rogue
events.  An optimized RF plan that's pushed out off-hours is a nice
improvement over the limited ARM individual AP reactive options.  But, I
can't get details on how Airmatch addresses anomalies immediately.  Are
there any variables involved in an immediate radio config change other than
DFS radar detection.

Moving to high density and dedicated APs per classroom has helped alleviate
many problems.  I'm assuming using MM with Airmatch is preferred over ARM,
generally speaking, but in real world situations, how does it address
intermittent issues that move around Campus as they occur each day.

Overall, I'm very pleased with 6.5.x.x and AP-3xx.  Especially the
re-designed AP-27x series.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba 8.0

[Lionel Shigemura]

Hi Chad,

Helpful observations.  We’re looking at an upgrade without MM for our small 
Campus.  280 WAPs that will grow to ~400 using a high density design using 7220 
& 7210.  Still investigating the cost/benefit for MM or non-MM upgrade.

We’ll need more Q & A with HPE and our local vendor.  Can’t make Atmosphere due 
to scheduling conflicts.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cost effective alternatives to AP-220-MNT-W2

[Lionel Shigemura]

Done something similar in the past.  End-users wanted a nicer solution.  So
I bought pairs of bookshelf brackets, cut a piece of ceiling grid and
mounted between the two brackets.  Then, painted to match the walls.  A
little nicer and still uses standard grid clips to remove.  I did (4) of
these for proof of concept and showed the cost comparisons.  When you add
up time and material,  ~ $50 Oberon becomes more reasonable.  It hides the
datajack and provides a quick option that should work with most grid clip
model APs.  Our areas that do not have a drop ceiling or the ceiling is too
high(>14') is less than a dozen so our costs were relatively low for indoor
wall mounts.

Outdoor APs were a different story...

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cost effective alternatives to AP-220-MNT-W2

[Lionel Shigemura]

A local Aruba vendor has made some custom 2-gang cover plates modified with
a tile grid type piece for another Campus.  Just mount the adapter plate
and clip the AP similar to a ceiling grid.  It was custom piece at a
"decent" price, but can't recall exactly.  I've used various Oberon
products and they're really nice.  We have some older bldgs with plenum
ceiling that use a steel frame grid with integrated supply ducts.  No
standard grid for clip usage. I've used the Aruba AP-220-MNT-W1 and Aruba
AP-220-MNT-W2 using screws and zip ties.  If the W2 is too costly, a
cheaper options we entertained was to modify the included grid clip adapter
and screw it into the steel plate.  The latter solution was really
difficult to remove so we didn't use it.

For walls, I prefer this solution until I find something better.  #1011-00
http://www.oberoninc.com/products/right-angle-brackets

I contacted Oberon's competitor and their similar model didn't have a
knockout for cable pass-through and had some differences.  This was shortly
after Atmosphere.  Wasn't worth the cost when we had to modify to make it
work.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Controller code recommendations

[Lionel Shigemura]

Our Campus is running 6.4.3.7 on an older M3.  I have a 7210 on standby,
waiting to be installed in the coming weeks.  We've been on the aggressive
side of GA releases due to equipment requirements.  Our University System
IT office that hosts AirWare for all of the UH Campuses has followed each
Campus lead and based upgrades on our dependencies.  I would recommend
reading the release notes to see if outstanding issues will affect your
situation.  The newer Wave 1 and 2 APs have been dictating our software
versions.

We just ordered some AP-315s and expect the typical challenges that come
with newly released hardware.  In recent years, we've been very fortunate
and haven't run into any major operations or performance issues with the
code releases.  We use AP-105, AP-135, AP-215, AP-225, and AP-275.  We were
replacing our N units with AP-215, but will probably change to AP-315.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Aruba Instant IAP-215 Wireless Access Points

[Lionel Shigemura]

Using WS-C2960S-48LPS-L & WS-C2960X-48LPD-L
With lldp transmit enabled (default), non-IAP model PoE consumption on
Cisco switches below:
AP-135 draws 15.4 watts
AP-215 draws 21.4 watts
AP-225 draws 22.4 watts
AP-275 draws 30.0 watts

Although not standard and recommended, we have some Aruba AP-215s running
on Bertek CAT5 UTP under 200' distances at Gig.  Surprisingly, many
pass CAT5e permanent link certification using Fluke DSX.  Using certified
CAT6 patch cords for cross-connects and it has been stable.  No frame
errors, resets, or AP reboots.Using Aruba OS 6.4.2.12.  I would think
the non-virtual controller IAP-215 would draw similar loads as the AP-215.
Max load on a Cisco 370watt PoE switch is (~17) AP-215.

As stated previously, check Cisco/Aruba logs and settings.  If possible,
re-certify the problem horizontal runs.
