HP-Aruba Wired Layer 2 Integration (ArubaOS)

Note – In this example, an Aruba S2500 configuration is provided as tested on ArubaOS 7.4.1.7, however any ArubaOS Layer 2 switch supporting the following features are eligible for integration. This integration is not intended for HPE switches running non-ArubaOS software (K or Y software versions).

Note – If your ArubaOS switch is running in Tunneled Node mode, all traffic from the switch ports is tunneled directly to the controller. NAC would integrate directly with the controller in that scenario instead of the switch.

Note – In this example the NAC RADIUS Server / Policy Server is 10.10.10.10 (replace this IP with the IP of your NAC system)

Note – Be sure to remove comments in (BOLD) before cutting and pasting script into the switch

This completes the ArubaOS switch configuration for NAC integration.

Note – The switch must now be added to the NAC RADIUS server. Refer to the NAC RADIUS Server Configuration guide for details on how to add the switch as a NAS.

Note – Unless 802.1X is required, be sure to select the MAC Authentication Only mode when configuring the NAC RADIUS server.
