Have an AP6 and an AP6 Pro connected to the same Aruba 2530 switch. The AP6 defaults to meshing, the AP6 Pro does not. When AP6 is plugged into an ALTA 24 PoE on the same LAN it does not mesh however. Doesn’t matter what port. Cannot for the life of me understand why? Has anyone had any experience with this or a resolution?
Cable on the meshed one pin tested? You try swapping them?

Yeah it rings out, and it works / doesn’t mesh on Alta switches. Meshes on the Aruba’s. AP6 Pro works on both.
Do you mind sharing the port settings for the ports on the Aruba switch?
Found the issue, you were right. There was a coupler dropping pin 8, the coupler shouldn’t have been there (who uses couplers in 2025). Thanks for the responses!

Of note the Alta 24 PoE was able to work around the faulty coupler, Aruba was not. Neat trick.
Excellent troubleshooting!
