Program is designed to ensure interoperability and high performance between NetLink Wireless Telephones and WLAN infrastructure products. The products listed below have been thoroughly tested in SpectraLink’s lab and have passed VIEW Certification. This document details how to configure the Aruba mobility controller with NetLink Wireless Telephones.
Page 2: Network Topology
The following topology was tested during VIEW Certification testing. Deployment Description It is a SpectraLink requirement that voice users be placed on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 10) and data users on a separate VLAN (e.g., VLAN 25). The voice and data VLANs reside on the Aruba mobility controller and not on the access points (APs).
Page 3: Known Limitations
“switch IP address” from their current subnet. Known Limitations No limitations were discovered during VIEW Certification testing. VIEW Certification testing verifies that the wireless telephone and the AP interoperate at the packet level; therefore, no add-on vendor features were tested in the scope of VIEW.
Page 4 Via the CLI By default, only SSH (Secure Shell) access to the switch (mobility controller) is permitted. 1. From a management system that has network connectivity to the switch, connect to the switch using SSH: ssh admin@<switch IP address> 2. Enter the admin password at the password prompt. 3.
Page 5: Initial Setup
Initial Setup Before starting, please ensure that the Policy Enforcement Firewall module license is enabled on the Aruba mobility controller. Please contact Aruba Networks for licenses and installation information. On power-up, the user is presented with the startup wizard: Enter System name [Aruba800]: Aruba Enter VLAN 1 interface IP address [172.16.0.254]: Enter VLAN 1 interface subnet mask [255.255.255.0]: Enter IP Default gateway [none]:...

Page 13 The steps are as follows: 1. Setup aliases for the SVP Server. 2. Set policies for the wireless telephone user to the required voice server, DHCP and TFTP servers. Add other ACLs as required to permit other traffic from the wireless telephones.
Page 14 5. Create a new net-destination at servers as hosts. For more details on configuring the net-destinations, refer to the user guide. Create policies for the wireless telephone user The policies shown in the above example can be configured using the Web interface as follows: PN: 72-9965-00-G.doc...

Page 17 testing, the Aruba 800 was configured as the master switch and the Aruba 6000 was configured as a local switch; therefore, this configuration is used in the following examples. For instructions on setting up a switch as a local switch refer to Aruba’s user guides. Ensure that both switches have IP connectivity.
Page 18 It’s also necessary to set the default gateway of the SpectraLink SVP Server and NetLink Telephony Gateway to the IP address of the router connected to the master switch.
Page 19: Checking The Configuration
Checking the Configuration Verify connectivity by pinging between the switches, the APs, and the server and gateway. The switch and AP are now ready for use with the NetLink Wireless Telephones. To show AP settings: show ap config location x.y.z To show all APs connected to a switch: show stm connectivity To show clients associated to all APs:...
