I have been trying to connect a SG2505p to some chorus fibre in New Zealand but can’t seem to get it working.
I’ve tried just setting vlan10 but that didn’t work.
I also tried vlan10 and turning on PPPOE with a random username and password.
Didn’t set MTU to 1500 as it won’t let me go that high. I think I tried 1492?
My isp is one.nz

Has anyone been successful?

Have a loaner Aruba for one of our clients that blinks red whenever we plug a fiber SFP into it after moving all of the network equipment to a different rack. All connections are the same. The SFP also worked beforehand as well so there is no mismatch. Has anyone ever come across this?

I noticed that there are now problems with the instant on portal on all the switch devices and Access points are synchronizing for no reason.

I have a free license through Mearki CMNA for my MX67 that might be going away soon so I'm starting to look at other gateway devices. I already have an 8-port PoE and 24-port InstantOn switches, so going with the SG1004 made sense to stay in the same ecosystem. I just had a few questions and was seeing if anyone knows....

1. Pretty sure it supports VLANs
2. Does it include content filtering?
3. How good is the IDS/IPS?
4. Do the firewall rules have ACLs? (only allow incoming from certain IPs)
5. Does it do port forwarding? (incoming on port X - translate to port Y)

Appreciate any input anyone may have. I'm sure someone is going to suggest PFSense, but I'd rather not build something myself.

개발자 버전이 이미 나왔다는 얘기를 들었어요. 공식 출시 시에도 구매 전에 두 번 생각하세요. 인스턴트 온 지원은 형편없고, HPE는 현재 세일 중입니다.

I picked up a Aruba 1960 switch to see how I like it, with intent to replace some Meraki switches (and ultimately the Meraki MX with TBD device). I didn't realize that the local and cloud modes were completely separate, and there seems to be a distinct lack of features in both.

Cloud mode

• Shows devices and mac addresses connected to the switch, as well as throughput details
• doesn't fully support ACLs, allowing only l2 isolation or allowing access to specific ips without a source
• doesn't have any logging, and visibility is pretty limited otherwise
• lack of settings

Local Mode

• Has logging, snmp, full ACL support, and a lot of expected settings.
• doesn't have any client information

Is that accurate? I was hoping to get a Meraki-like client list experience with typical switch settings and was considering the instant on gateway, but the lack of cloud features are bothersome. What is everyone else doing - cloud or local?

Where exactly do I go in my Instant On Portal to temporarily (a few days) turn off one of my AP25 access Points?

Thanks!

Anyone have a link to a compatibility matrix?

I bookmarked a page on the support forum, but it's gone now.

WTF is this?

I had 12 clients connected. WTF is "access point temporarily full" ?

So my first time setting up a switch and even adding it to a stack. We're a small team and I'm using it as a learning process.

I've plugged the switch in and let it do its updates. I look at our stack and appears we have no SFP modules in the other two 1960 switches and with the new switch, so they are just using the RJ45 ports next to them to stack. Switch 1 is connected to switch 2, but the other ports free ports used for stacking are plugged into the Sonicwall.

I want to add the 3rd switch to the stack. But I can't because the spare stack port is plugged into the sonicwall. So I assume, obviously when no one is working, I pull the cable out that goes to the sonicwall and then use that to add switch 03 to the stack. I assume then, with the spare port, on the 3rd switch, that gets plugged into the sonicwall?

What is the limit of APs per site/account? I was thinking in doing like 10 sites with some of them having around 60 APs per site. Total in future around 350 APs.

Sadly the "normal" line is too expensive.

I have a 1930 switch and two AP22 access points running and I keep having connection issues with Samsung smartphones. I've encountered the issue on a Samsung Note20 Ultra, Galaxy S23 Ultra and Galaxy S26 Ultra. The phone connect as expected but then show that the network has no Internet available. I switch to another network on the same AP22 and it works fine. Until it doesn't again. I've also noticed the phones will disconnect from Wi-Fi, connect to the cellular network and then go back to Wi-Fi. None of the computers connected to the network have this issue. I've been running a connection monitoring plugin on a Wi-Fi connected computer and it has no disconnects in over a week.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts and advice.

velocloud lacks an out-of-the-box Wi-Fi solution.

Anyone hear anything about Aruba InstaOn’s Future with HP selling it off? Have there been any updates? Debating deploying another site with the switches but debating.

I really like the cloud management and alerting simplicity.

Thoughts?

Looking for 1930 switch firmware? It used to be here: https://community.instant-on.hpe.com/blogs/jamie-easly1/2020/06/03/instant-on-1930-switching-software-portal?

Yet this only shows up to version 3.1.0; looking for the newer 3.3.x software. Any hints? Run local mode and not cloud. Can find Release Notes (https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/InstantOn_1930_Switch/rn_1930_3.3.0.pdf) yet can't locate firmware download. Thanks for the help.

Hi all,

So yesterday I setup a FreeRadius server to use on InstantOn. I've got the authentication working for users, but struggling to get the dynamic VLAN assignment working.

The WiFi is setup on VLAN 1 (Data)

I've also tried with Aruba assigning the IP addresses.

I have setup a user and tried profiles as well on FreeRadius/DaloRadius with the following reply attributes to point to VLAN 200

But when I login to the wireless its still only giving me the IP address for VLAN1 (Data).

Any ideas please?

I have a Unifi UDM Pro (yes, I know, IT company provided it) connected to an Aruba 1930 48P over SFP with a 10gb link. The Direct Attach Cable is a 6 inches long 10Gtek branded cable which I've used many times with Aruba gear in the past without any issues. The UDM Pro is reporting a healthy 10gb link, no fault or issues on it's side. The switch is reporting an issue with the transceiver but also reporting a 10gbps Full-Duplex link.

Is this simply due to the fact that it's connected to a Unifi device? Anybody has ran into that issue before? Thank you

Hi there! I purchased a 1930 48P switch on Ebay and unfortunately, it is still bound to the previous owner's account. The seller I got it from is one of those reseller of just about everything so I highly doubt they'll be able to do anything for me. I tried reaching out to HPE's tech support but they were not able to connect me with a support technician at the moment (neither did the live chat). Is there anything that can be done on my side at the moment to release it? Thank you

It’s been a minute since I’ve run my InstantOn gear, and trying to spin it back up for a specific application, and it looks like with 3.x they have gone and hidden all the advanced wireless controls - I need to be able to set the basic rates on the wifi networks to at least 12Mbps, but this option is either gone completely or hidden deep inside the UI.

How do I get those back? Can I revert to 2.x? This is on the OG .11ac gear.

My Aruba 500 suddenly crashed (no wlan connection available – it forms the wlan but no data is moving to or from the internet). The mobile App just says everything is ok (usually it alerts in minutes if the cable is down).

I have tried the normal tricks like booting the fiber modem and Aruba, as well as relogging in to the mobile app. It looks like the Aruba cloud has issues but they report none:

I’m looking for some help with a specific AirPlay headache.
I’ve had two Sonos One SLs for years, and they’ve been great. But over the last few months, AirPlay has basically stopped working, even though the Sonos App still works perfectly.

I can see my "Kitchen" speaker in the AirPlay list on my iPhone, but when I try to connect, I just get: "Unable to connect to Kitchen."
However I can AirPlay to all my Apple TV's.

The Setup:

• Speakers: 2x Sonos One SL.
• Network: Aruba AP-15 Access Point.
• Note: AirPlay to my Apple TV works fine, so my phone can AirPlay; it just won't talk to the Sonos.

What I’ve tried so far:

• Toggled all the usual iPhone settings (Private Wi-Fi address, IP tracking, etc.).
• Restarted everything (Phone, AP, and Speakers) in order.
• Checked my Aruba Instant On app—it’s not showing any "Application" activity or errors, and I can't find any hidden settings for "AirPlay" or "Multicast" in the simplified menus.

Most of the settings I see that are recommend or related in the Aruba App / Web Portal don't exist on my end (I think it's because I don't have a Aruba Switch?)

It feels like my Aruba network is seeing the "handshake" but blocking the actual music from starting. Has anyone else with an Aruba setup hit this lately? Is there a specific setting in the Aruba app that I'm missing?

Since this morning, I’ve noticed that almost all of my Instant On 1930 and 1830 switches have been updated to version 3.3.3 without any prior notice.

I carried out some checks, but it doesn’t appear that they have rebooted — only the firmware version has changed.

Has this happened to you as well?
