What's New In ArubaOS 6.4.x
The following features are introduced or enhanced in ArubaOS 6.4.2.0:
Feature Description
Enhanced LACP support on W-
AP220 Series and W-AP270
Series access points
This enhanced LACP feature allows W-AP220 Series or W-AP270 Series
access points to form a 802.11g radio tunnel to a backup controller in the
event of a controller failover, even if the backup controller is in a different
L3 network.
RTLS Station Message
Frequency
Currently, when configuring the RTLS server under ap system-profile, the
valid range of values for station-message-frequency was 5-3600
seconds. There are deployments that may require this to be configurable
to as frequently as 1 per second. Starting with ArubaOS 6.4.2.0, you can
set the station-message-frequency parameter in the 1-3600 seconds
range.
Service Tag A service tag is a unique seven digit alphanumeric string that is used to
electronically identify a Dell device. It is similar to a serial number
identifier. Starting with ArubaOS 6.4.2.0, you can view the service tag of
some newer Dell APs from the controller WebUI or CLI. It is displayed
along with the serial number in a device information listing.
VHT Support on W-AP200
Series, W-AP210 Series, W-
AP220 Series, and W-AP270
Series Access Points
Starting with ArubaOS 6.4.2.0, VHT is supported on W-AP220 Series
access points on both 20 MHz and 40 MHz channels.
Web Content Classification The WebCC feature helps classify web traffic in the controller. The
classification is done in the data path while the traffic flows through the
controller and updates dynamically. WebCC uses a cloud-based service to
dynamically determine the types of websites being visited, and their
safety.
