Configuration Guide Network Topology It is important to note that this configuration is not necessarily applicable to all customer environments. The following topology was tested during VIEW Certification testing. Known Limitations No limitations were discovered during VIEW Certification testing. VIEW Certification testing verifies that the wireless telephone and the AP interoperate at the packet level; therefore, no add-on vendor features were tested in the scope of VIEW.

Aruba Mobility Controllers: A200, A800, A2400, A6000 Deployment Description It is a SpectraLink requirement that voice users be placed on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 10) and data users on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 25). The voice and data VLANs reside on the Aruba mobility controller and not on the access points (APs). The user traffic is tunneled back to the Aruba controller for processing. The edge network thus does not have to be modified to accommodate the WiFi clients and the Vo

Aruba Mobility Controllers: A200, A800, A2400, A6000 Connecting APs Provisioning APs The APs need to be provisioned. The Aruba APs can be provisioned manually or be configured for automatic provisioning. For manual provisioning, use the Web-based AP provisioning Web page. Refer to the AP Provisioning User Guide for instructions on provisioning the AP. The APs can communicate with the controller over a L2 or L3 network. The only requirement is that each AP be assigned an IP address

Configuration Guide SSID Configuration CLI command configuration APs can be configured using the CLI or the Web interface. Each AP is identified by a unique location code. The APs can either be configured per location with unique settings using the AP’s unique location code or globally using the wildcard location. “0” is used as the wildcard. Example: ap location 0.0.0 will configure all Aruba APs on the WLAN system. Both the Aruba APs and the Spectralink handsets support the 802.1
