Aruba Controller configuration

this is no way of giving step-by-step for this. You need a plan; what do you want to achieve.

HA
1. how many controllers?
2. which controller models?
3. which AOS version
3. how many sites?

VLAN
1. which VLANs?
2. What area of use do you plan for these

AP registration is rather easy.
1. AP looks for MASTER Controller - where it is told which controller (LMS) to connect to.
2. Master Controller IP is either MASTER CONTROLLER (in AOS 6.x versions) or Managed Device (in AOS 8.x versions)
3. first AP looks for DHCP option 43
4. then it rund Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP) which is a L2 protocol
5. last it looks for aruba-master in local DNS - an A record with IP to master contoller or MD

YOu can read more on HA setup on Arubas validated reference design guides: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Validated-Reference-Design/tkb-p/Aruba-VRDs

look for Campus WLAN Redundancy,Campus Redundancy Model and Aruba Mobility Controllers

Hello..Thanks for you valuable comment...Please find my response below...

HA
1. how many controllers? ----There are Two controllers
2. which controller models?------7010
3. which AOS version-----6.4
3. how many sites? ----Single Site
4.I have IAP,RAP..will those support for this controller solution

1.which VLANs---Data VLANs...Total Five VLANs....Three for corporate users..one for Guest and one for voice
2. What area of use do you plan for these....It is one for enterprise env...

Please guide

if this is a new setup, consider buying the Mobility Master (a VM) and centralized solution. Then configuration, RF and monitoring for all controllers are handled centrally.

otherwise.
upgrade to latest version of AOS 6.5  (unless you have AP 125)

read this - as it explains many of the technologies http://community.arubanetworks.com/aruba/attachments/aruba/Aruba-VRDs/14/1/Aruba%20Mobility%20Controllers-%20PDF.pdf 
choose standalone setup - and setup as active standby setup, where all APs connect to one controller - while the other is standby. If controller 1 goes down all APs and users failover to controller 2. See setup in User Guide - pages 635 - 637 (https://support.arubanetworks.com/Documentation/tabid/77/DMXModule/512/Command/Core_Download/Default.aspx?EntryId=25640)

IAP needs to be converted to Campus APs - boot - login and choose Maintenance and convert - choose Campus AP controlled by mobility controller and add IP-Address of master

FOr VLANs - rather easy just add in Configuration - VLANs, give it ID, possibly NAME and add to ports (unless the support it set up as a trunk - where the port might be TRUNK and ALLOW all VLANs

if you have bought all new product from Aruba, generally they provide consulting support along with it to configuration & implementation. You can connect to Aruba support for this.

Hi Sandip,

Aruba don't give any support on new configuration. Even if you buy support from Aruba.  

If you are facing problem while doing troubleshooting then they will assist you.

haha.thats good one..I am available in IST time, I can help you for configurations

even easier - run through the Aruba Solution Exchange; https://ase.arubanetworks.com/solutions?page=1&page_size=20&order=-modified
it will create configuration for you - based on your input

Hi Sandip,

Thanks!

When we can start the configuration. I need your guidance.
