I don't have any experience with HP Aruba APs, but I think you just don't use hotspot feature on Aruba APs. Use your UTM device to manage vouchers.

Manage Aruba AP from Sophos UTM? that will be a nice feature to have and I vote for Cisco AP as well.

I'm trying to configure the aruba side to work with the existing hotspot.

Having hard times doing so, anyone here has experience with Instant manager?

Thank you.

It is even easier.

Create a SSID as the same name of you guest WIFI on your aruba AP

Map this SSID to your dedicated subnet for guest

Done !

But of course in future if you want to change password then you will have to login to HP Aurba AP to change it as it can not be managed from UTM

Yes, but doing like that the voucher would be managed by aruba if connected to it, while from utm if connected to the sophos ones.

Is there no way to manage them all from utm?

The basic idea is

If you AP supports VLAN then you can create a SSID map to VLAN and then create a wifi hotspot associated to the same VLAN on your UTM

I have 2 Sophos AP30 running a Guest Hotspot on a dedicated subnet, I want to add my aruba to the same existing hotspot, not to create one. Thank you.

Louis, the rest of Wireless Protection only works with Sophos APs, but Hotspots will work on any Interface, even wired ones, so an interface connected to a network of Cisco APs could use UTM Hotspot.

Do I need a dedicated interface connecting to Cisco AP to use hotspot feature?

Oddly enough Bob, I was just looking at this the other day and was surprised when the login popped up when I enabled it.

It's a nice little feature to have for sure.

Hi, Oliver, and welcome to the UTM Community!

This should work, so there must be something that you don't realize you need to tell us. First, does #1 in Rulz give you any hints?

If that doesn't shine a light on the problem, please show us pictures of the relevant configurations.

Cheers - Bob

Hi,

i think you enable DNS for this VLAN too.?

Try to connect a computer with wire to this VLAN.

does the Hostspot function work?

Do you get access to the internet?

Do you use a standalone accesspoint or a controller based solution from cisco?

Some Cisco devices block some traffic.

Try a more simple accesspoint.

Cisco AP's? What AP's are these? AFAIK, the Sophos hotspots will only work with Sophos AP's....
