  • 1.  Aruba 1930 vs Cisco

    Posted 02-19-2025 05:21 AM

    Hi Folks
    I work with cisco switches connecting in AP Aruba 228 and 225 thro Instant system. Works fine
    Due a project of security cameras, I need to conect cisco switch with new Aruba instant on 1930 swicth 24ports. In this aruba I am trying to connect an AP 228. However even configre vlans, trunk the AP doesn´t work
    So, cisco switch can talk with Aruba by ping, but I can´t configure to pass the Vlans across 1930 for AP get IPs.
    Could you help me how can I do this configuration? 
    Let me know if you need more details
    Thank you in advance
    Wilson

    Looks like you're mixing HP Enterprise products (AP-228), aka "Instant", with Aruba "Instant On" products (1930 switch).
    These are 2 totally different product lines (Enterprise vs. SMB/Prosumer) and cannot be managed together.
    On just IP-level they can of course talk to each other, but management-wise, totally different things.

    So, you are saying me that AP228 and Aruba switch instant on 1930 won't work, is it correct?

    Of course they will "work" as long as you configure IP's/Subnets correctly.
    What I'm saying is, you will never have them in ONE Management UI/Dashboard because they're different product trains.
    Each of them has it's own Management Portal/Controller which makes it unnecessarily complicated.

    Why not swap AP-228 against AP-27?
    Then you have an enterprise-grade, state-of-the-art Outdoor AP which can be managed in the same portal as your 1930 switch.

    Understood, however,  in my company we have only cisco switches and due a new security cams project they brought Aruba1930.

    So, I have only AP228 and 225 a long time ago and working with cisco switches. As I don´t know how I can configure ARUBA with AP228 I will replace Aruba

    Than you
