Enable Static Poller Assignment for Aruba Wi-Fi Plugin to Maintain Geographical Consistency

After enabling the Wi-Fi plugin on Aruba controllers, we observed that all associated APs are automatically added to SevOne. During this process, SevOne dynamically assigns pollers from the cluster, which conflicts with our strategy of assigning pollers based on the device’s geographical location. For example, a controller located in OMA, US West, or an international zone may have its poller from the OMA data center, while some APs linked to that controller are assigned pollers from the RTP data center upon onboarding. Although this is not a major concern, it complicates troubleshooting Wi-Fi issues because logs are distributed across multiple pollers. Additionally, we are unsure if this could introduce delays when retrieving Wi-Fi statistics for a single campus where controllers and APs are split across different data centers.

    Hi Sharath,

    I'm curious to know if you are already using the 'Distribute APs to Peers' option - as what you're asking for is already available.

    In case you have pre-existing AP's, you can use the 'Device Mover' on NMS to move them to your preferred peer, and the setting in the plugin will ensure any future APs that come on-board will follow the configured setting.

    SevOne clustering ensures there will be no impact to reporting, as long as all the peers are able to communicate effectively.
