  • 1.  Instant On 1930 8G SFP Dynamic VLAN

    Posted 03-09-2023 01:26 PM

    Hello Community,

    I recently purchased this switch because the manual indicates it supports MAC-based authentication from RADIUS.

    I've configured the switch to talk to my RADIUS server on my router and supply the correct vlan-id to the port.

    My router is on port#1 and ap is on port#5. Conducting test with port untagged with specific vlan-id works (ie; I untag port #6 with vlan-id 99 and my router hands out the proper IP, so I know the switch works this way. Changing the port untagged vlan-id to any of my vlans results in the same, I get an IP from router in that vlan.)

    My intent is vlan1 is management vlan, vlan20,90,99 are specific vlans.

    I got it working exactly once and then it stopped working. Even reset switch to factory and re-implemented config, couldn't get it working again.

    My config:

    config-file-header
    TW10KPB1DB

    Switch is running current firmware of 2.7.0

    I've seen posts here that this switch doesn't support dynamic vlan, I'm not sure that's true anymore as I said, I got it working once and then it stopped working.

    I'm hoping the answer isn't talking to support, when I did they just told me to factory reset the switch and there was no follow-up even though they asked my contact details. Never received an email either.

    Hey Chris,

    Thank you for sharing your concern. I've shared this with my team, and once they provide me with more insight, I'll update you.

    Much appreciated. I've noticed during testing that sometimes the port is in HELD status. The AP does indeed authenticate against RADIUS and if I tell the AP not to use RADIUS (and allow the switch to do the work) I can see the switch successfully authenticates the MAC from RADIUS but vlan never switches. The output from my RADIUS using a test MAC:

    root@OPNsense:~ # radtest 46ac4066790e 46ac4066790e 127.0.0.1 0 radius123
    Sent Access-Request Id 212 from 0.0.0.0:2075 to 127.0.0.1:1812 length 82
            User-Name = "46ac4066790e"
            User-Password = "46ac4066790e"
            NAS-IP-Address = 192.168.1.254
            NAS-Port = 0
            Message-Authenticator = 0x00
            Cleartext-Password = "46ac4066790e"
    Received Access-Accept Id 212 from 127.0.0.1:1812 to 127.0.0.1:2075 length 42
            Tunnel-Type:0 = VLAN
            Tunnel-Medium-Type:0 = IEEE-802
            Tunnel-Private-Group-Id:0 = "99"
            Framed-Protocol = PPP

    I've run out of ideas. It was working but stopped when I started adding more vlans (I tested with vlan1+vlan99) and I've not being able to reproduce since.

    Hey Chris,

    I connected with my team and they would like to connect with you directly via our support team. Can you reach out to them by clicking the link: https://www.arubainstanton.com/contact-support/

    Sure thing, is there a reference I can give? Last time I tried the support rep just wanted me to factory reset the switch only.

    I forgot to note that the AP successfully authenticates through the switch to RADIUS and I can see it listed in the Access Control Client Information panel under Port Security > Port Access Control including being in vlan1 untagged (where I want it to be.)

    Hi Chris,

    Not sure if this helps - but for our ports that use dynamic vlan assignment, we don't have the vlans tagged or untagged in the config. Might be that it's not setting it to "untagged" because they're already "Tagged"?

    I can't replicate the config via the UI, closest I can get is:

    !

    interface 5
     dot1x radius-attributes vlan static 
     dot1x port-control auto 
    !

    If I enable MAC auth (instead of Auto) I can specify max-users. VLAN assignment is checked off but multi-sessions doesn't appear. I modified the config by hand and  uploaded it to startup configuration but it didn't stick after a reboot. I even factory-reset the switch and tried via the UI and then by hand, config won't stick. When I download running config, it's the above.

    How'd u export a config like that, is that through web gui for tech support/ diagnostics? I thought these didnt support ssh shells?
    Please advise how that's done, thank you!

    Can I see the radius config/enforcement policy that pushes untagged and tagged VLANs successfully to a port?
