Unified Wired and Wireless
• ClearPass Policy Manager support
unified wired and wireless policies using Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager
• Switch auto-configuration
automatically configures switch for different settings such as VLAN, CoS, PoE max power, and PoE priority when an Aruba
access point is detected.
• User role
defines a set of switch-based policies in areas such as security, authentication, and QoS. A user role can be assigned to a
group of users or devices, using switch-based local user role or download from ClearPass.
• Dynamic segregation
provides a secured tunnel to transport network traffic on a per-port or per-user-role basis to an Aruba Controller. In per-
user-role Tunneled Node, users are authenticated with ClearPass Policy Manager which can direct the traffic to be
tunneled to Aruba controller or switch locally.
• Static IP visibility
provides a way for ClearPass to do accounting for clients with static IP address
Quality of Service
(QoS)
• Advanced classifier-based QoS
classifies traffic using multiple match criteria based on Layer 2, 3, and 4 information; applies QoS policies such as setting
priority level and rate limit to selected traffic on a per-port or per-VLAN basis
• Traffic prioritization
allows real-time traffic classification into eight priority levels mapped to eight queues
• Bandwidth shaping
− Port-based rate limiting
provides per-port ingress-/egress-enforced increased bandwidth
− Classifier-based rate limiting
uses an access control list (ACL) to enforce increased bandwidth for ingress traffic on each port
− Reduced bandwidth
provides per-port, per-queue egress-based reduced bandwidth
• Class of Service (CoS)
sets the IEEE 802.1p priority tag based on IP address, IP Type of Service (ToS), Layer 3 protocol, TCP/UDP port number,
source port, and DiffServ
• Unknown Unicast Rate Limiting throttles unicast packets with unknown destination addresses and limits flooding on the
VLAN
Management
• Aruba Central cloud-based management platform
offers simple, secure, and cost effective way to manage switches
• Zero-Touch ProVisioning (ZTP)
simplifies installation of the switch infrastructure using Aruba Activate-based or DHCP based process with AirWave
Network Management
• Flexible management with same hardware
supports both cloud-based Central and on-premise AirWave with the same hardware ensuring change management
platform without ripping and replacing switching infrastructure
• IP SLA for Voice
monitors quality of voice traffic using the UDP Jitter and UDP Jitter for VoIP tests (requires v3 modules)
• Built-in programmable and easy to use REST API interface
provides configuration automation for Mobile-first campus networks
• Remote intelligent mirroring
mirrors selected ingress/egress traffic based on ACL, port, MAC address, or VLAN to a local or remote HPE
