Provisioning using DHCP with
Vendor Specific Options
About the Aruba 41
A standards compliant DHCP server can be configured to
return the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address through
Vendor Specific Options (option 43) in the DHCP reply. If the
host Mobility Controller’s IP address is obtained via DHCP, it
will be used for uploading the Aruba access point’s software
image and configuration.
The Aruba 41 is part of a comprehensive wireless network
solution. The device works only in conjunction with an Aruba
Mobility Controller, and provides the following capabilities:
• Wireless transceiver
• Protocol-independent networking functionality
• IEEE 802.11a or IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless
Access Point
• IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11b/g operation as a wireless
Air Monitor
• Compatible with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (POE)
• Can be centrally managed, configured, and upgraded
through an Aruba Mobility Controller
PACKAGE CONTENTS
• 1 x Aruba 41 Wireless Access Point
• 1 x Quick Installation Guide (this document)
Inform your supplier if there are any incorrect, missing or
damaged parts. If possible, retain the carton, including the
original packing materials. Use them to repack the product
in case there is a need to return it.
NOTE: If you have location-specific configurations for your Access Points, you will
need to apply this configuration information using AP Reprovisioning.
1 Provisioning the Aruba 41
Aruba Networks, in compliance with governmental requirements,
has designed the Aruba 41 such that only authorized network
administrators can change these settings. For more information
on Access Point configuration, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.
CAUTION:
Access Points are radio broadcast devices and as such are subject to
governmental regulation. Network administrators responsible for the
configuration and operation of Access Points must comply with local
broadcast regulations. Specifically, Access Points must use channel
assignments appropriate to the location in which the Access Point
will be used.
Goal of Access Point Provisioning
BEFORE GETTING STARTED
Before installing your Aruba 41 wirless access point,
please ensure you have the following:
• 1 x Fast Ethernet cable of required length
Provisioning provides the Aruba access point with basic network
settings that allow it to locate the host Aruba Mobility Controller.
Initial provisioning may be achieved through a number of methods,
including:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS
- DHCP with Vendor Specific Options
• 1 x 802.3af compliant Power over Ethernet source
(PSE) - Aruba Mobility Controller or Midspan device
• 1 x Aruba Mobility Controller provisioned on the
network:
- with Layer 2/3 network connectivity your Aruba 41
- One of the following network services:
- Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
- DNS server with an “A” record
(see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 41)
- DHCP Server with vendor specific options
(see section 1; Provisioning the Aruba 41)
Optional:
• Mounting screws (not supplied)
Aruba Discovery Protocol (ADP)
This is the simplist method for AP provisioning. ADP allows Aruba
access pionts to be connected to the network (or directly to a
Aruba Mobility Controller) and brought into operation automatically.
Obtain the IP address of the host Aruba Mobility Controller from which the Aruba access point will obtain its initial
software load and configuration.
Setting up an Aruba AP typically consists of a
planning stage and three AP installation stages:
If your Aruba access point is directly connected to an active Ethernet interface on an Aruba Mobility Controller, then no configuration
is required. You may proceed to the next step.
points will be needed for your wireless network deployment
and where they will be installed. This can be easily accomplished using Aruba’s automated RF Plan site-survey software
(available separately). This stage should have been completed
during the master Aruba Mobility Controller installation and
configuration. In, typical Aruba installations, the mobility controllers are configured and installed prior to access points.
If your Aruba access point is NOT directly / Layer 2 connected to
an Aruba Mobility Controller, and IP multicast routing is enabled on
the host network, then ADP will multicast packets to locate a host
Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address.
To ensure ADP is enabled, issue the following commands on the
Master Aruba Mobility Controller:
(A5000) (config) #adp discovery enable
(A5000) (config) #adp igmp-join enable
AP Provisioning — Provides each Aruba access point with
the initial setting required to locate the host Aruba Mobility
Controller.
An IP helper address on the subnet’s default gateway, mapped to
the host Aruba Mobility Controller’s IP address can be also used to
facilitate the multicast / broadcast based aspect of this process.
Once the Aruba access point is associated to its host Mobility
Controller, device specific configuration may be applied as
required (such as location code).
AP Installation — Once provisioned, the AP can be physically installed at its intended place of operation.
AP Configuration — The administrator defines the operational behavior for each Aruba access point such as RF characteristics and security features. For specific access point
configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS User Guide.
Connecting Cables & Power
Connect one end of the FE cable directly to the Aruba
41 FE port
Connect the other end of the FE cable to one of the
following:
- To a network port on the Mobility Controller, or
- To a network mid-span device that supports 802.3af
compliant port
FE Port Specifications
AP Provisioning
Recommended only in instances where APs require to be
pre-staged or provisioned in advance of shipment and final
network installation (suchas as Remote Access Point (RAP)
deployments), in AP programming mode, AP configuration
parameters are defined on the Aruba Mobility Controller via
command line interface or web interface, where they can
then be uploaded to individual access points as required.
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (FE) port is located on the right-hand
side of the Aruba 41 and has an RJ-45 female connector. The
port pin-outs are shown in Figure 0-2:

10/100 Mbps Ethernet
2 Installing the Aruba 41
Select a location as close as possible to the center of the
intended coverage area. The service location should be free from
obstructions or obvious sources of interference. Normally, the
higher you place an access point or air monitor, the better its
performance.
The Aruba 41 can be mounted on a wall using the mounting
slots on the bottom of the unit.

The Aruba AP Setup Process
Once an AP is associated to an Aruba Mobility Controller, it is
capable of being Reprovisioned if necessary. AP Reprovisioning
is the process by which APs are assigned unique configuration
characteristics, for example, location codes. Location codes are
important for recalibration and triangulation. For details on AP
Reprovisioning, see the ArubaOS User Guide.
NOTE: Aruba 41 Access Points are intended only for installation in Environment A as
defined in IEEE 802.3.af, Power over Ethernet. All interconnected equipment must be
contained within the same building, including the interconnected equipment’s associated LAN connections.
ADP performs one key task:
NOTE: Additionally, the access point software can be uploaded via a
standard TFTP server.

3 Configuring the Aruba 41
Once the Aruba 41 has been provisioned and installed, it will
be capable of discovery and association to an Aruba Mobility
Controller where the wireless and security parameters can be
set. For AP configuration information, refer to the ArubaOS
User Guide
3 Orient the antenna. For best performance, swivel the antenna so
that it is oriented vertically.
Provisioning using DNS
If Layer 3 network connected, the Aruba 41 can use network
based DNS to resolve a factory configured default host name
“aruba-master” to derive the host Mobility Controller IP address.
To enable this, a record for “aruba-master” must be created on
the network DNS server.
