IP address issue for end users

Saiprasad_Rao_R — Tue, 18 Aug 2015 23:29:00 GMT

We added 22 access points to existing network. Setup is like this : 10 ap's are part of vlan 80 in building-1 Remaining 12 ap's part of vlan 81 in building-2 Users connecting to ap's ( vlan 80 )should get IP from vlan 90 Users connecting to ap's (vlan 81) should get IP from vlan 91 Now the issue is when we are in building-1 end user is getting IP , when he is moving to building 2 user not getting IP, but few users at building-2 are getting IP. As a resolution I have done the below: Grouped building-1 ap's and users in a single vlan 80 Grouped building-2 ap's and users in a single vlan 81 Now it seems to be better , but not sure is this correct resolution can anyone guide me.

Hi,

it's function as designed, the feature is called "Permit Inter-WLAN Service Roaming".

Here a post that explains it...

https://gtacknowledge.extremenetworks.com/articles/Solution/Client-is-not-getting-a-new-Role-and-IP-...

Just turn of "Permit Inter-WLAN Service Roaming" in the advanced option of the WLAN Service and the clients will use the VLAN in this building.

Are you using the same SSID for both services? Try disabling Inter-WLAN Service Roaming in the advance tab on each WLAN-Service.

Also you should be aware that we are at the mercy of the client device to do a clean dhcp renew when flipping subnets...

I've not created topology for AP's , I created two different topologies for end users of either of the buildings. I've created a single vlan (vlan 80) for AP's in both the buildings with dhcp scope..... will the resolution be same in this case also...

Yes, the resolution would be the same.

When you are connected to the network that does not work, can you ping the clients default gateway? Does it reply?

How about DNS resolving, is that working too? Try doing an nslookup on something. Also are there any policy rules that are different on one VNS versus the other? If the policy on the controller looks good and you are making it to the default gateway, chances are the issues are not with the wireless....

We are using public DNS, end user gets public DNS, name resolution is not happening..... There are no different policies....... I again checked what I found is few users are able to browse internet and few cannot. In building-2 , even I two was able to access internet when I went to building-2 to cross check again. Totally strange..
