Feature Description
Controller LLDP Support ArubaOS 6.4 provides support for Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)
on the controllers to advertise identity information and capabilities to
other nodes on the network, and store the information discovered about
the neighbors.
ClearPass Policy Manager
Integration
ArubaOS now supports downloadable roles. By using this feature, when
CPPM successfully authenticates a user, the user is assigned a role by
CPPM and if the role is not defined on the controller, the role attributes
can also be automatically downloaded.
High Availability The high availability feature has been enhanced with the following new
features in ArubaOS 6.4:
l High Availability Configuration Using the WebUI

ArubaOS and ClearPass
Guest Login URL Hash option
This feature enhances the security for the ClearPass Guest login URL. A
new parameter called "url_hash_key"in the Captive Portal profile
provides ClearPass the ability to trust and ensure that the client MAC
address in the redirect URL has not been tampered with by anyone.
Palo Alto Networks Firewall
Integration
This feature takes advantage of the User-Identification (User-ID) feature
of the Palo Alto Networks (PAN) firewall allows network administrators to
configure and enforce firewall policies based on user and user groups.
User-ID identifies the user on the network based on the IP address of the
device which the user is logged into. Additionally, firewall policy can be
applied based on the type of device the user is using to connect to the
network. Since the Dell controller maintains the network and user
information of the clients on the network, it is the best source to provide
the information for the User-ID feature on the PAN firewall.
