  • Application Recognition with CX Switches and New Central

    The Application Recognition and Control (ARC) is a relatively new feature in CX switches in which the switches perform Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) of the user traffic which is supported on 6300 and 6400 switch series.In this technote I’ll demonstrate ARC configuration and its application visibility in New Aruba Central…

  • Point to Multi Point Wi-Fi Mesh with AOS10 APs

    This is the continuation of Wi-Fi Mesh with AOS10 APs technote series in which I’ll build on the previous mesh solution and demonstrate the following: The topology that we’ll be deploying is as shown below.

  • Multi Cluster Wi-Fi Mesh and Ethernet Bridging with AOS10 APs

    This is the continuation of Wi-Fi Mesh with AOS10 APs technote series in which I’ll build on the previous solution and demonstrate the following: The topology that we’ll be deploying is as shown below.

  • Wi-Fi Mesh using 6GHz band with AOS10 APs

    Aruba APs with AOS10 firmware can utilise Wi-Fi mesh technology to expand Wi-Fi coverage in both outdoor and indoor settings. In this short technote I’ll cover the following: The topology that we’ll be deploying is as shown below.

  • MAC Auth for AP downlink wired ports with Cloud Auth

    Cloud Auth is part of Aruba Central which provides simple but powerful NAC and authentication solution. It provides 802.1x EAP-TLS authentication based on its integration with cloud identity store such as Google Workspace or Entra ID and assign the users the right level of network access. Additionally, Cloud Auth supports…

  • Microbranch Solution with Zscaler Integration

    The Microbranch (MB) solution can be seamlessly integrated with leading cloud security providers such as Zscaler through the Aruba Central “Cloud Connect” service. This integration facilitates the establishment of a secure connection between the Microbranch AP and one or multiple cloud-hosted enforcement control points. Specifically, in the case of Zscaler,…

  • Microsegmentation for Port Based Tunnelling with CX switches

    In this technote, we’ll build on the previous setup (Port Based Tunnelling with CX switches) by demonstrating: The main benefits of Microsegmentation comes from the fact that We assume that the previous setup is in place and note that the word “gateway”, “vpnc” and “controller” is used interchangeably here and…

  • Port Based Tunnelling with CX switches

    Port-based tunnelling (PBT) provides a method to tunnel the traffic of wired devices directly to a cluster of gateway /VPN concentrator (VPNC) without requiring an authentication server. By utilising this approach, authentication and network policies can be enforced at the gateway/VPNC side for tunnelled wired traffic. Centralising policies at the…
