How Do I Assign an IP Address to My Aruba Controller?

Published in Networking 2 mins read

You can assign an IP address to your Aruba controller through the web interface or the command-line interface (CLI).

Assigning an IP Address through the Web Interface

  1. Log in to the controller's web interface: Open a web browser and navigate to the controller's IP address.
  2. Go to the configuration section: Look for a section labeled "Configuration," "Network," or "IP Settings."
  3. Find the IP address configuration: Locate the settings for the controller's IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
  4. Enter the desired IP address information: Fill in the fields with the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway you want to use.
  5. Save the changes: Click "Apply," "Save," or "Submit" to save your configuration.

Assigning an IP Address through the CLI

  1. Connect to the controller's CLI: Use an SSH client to connect to the controller's IP address.
  2. Enter the configuration mode: Use the command configure terminal.
  3. Configure the IP address: Use the command ip address <IP address> <subnet mask>.
  4. Set the default gateway: Use the command ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <default gateway>.
  5. Save the configuration: Use the command copy running-config startup-config.

Example:

To assign the IP address 192.168.1.10 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and a default gateway of 192.168.1.1 using the CLI, you would use the following commands:

configure terminal
ip address 192.168.1.10 255.255.255.0
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
copy running-config startup-config

Note: The specific commands and options may vary depending on the controller model and software version. Refer to the Aruba documentation for detailed instructions.
