So I must admit, I'm not an Aruba guy... yet! I have been a Ruckus and Aerohive guy for a while, but I have been wanting to learn Aruba, and my wish is coming true in a bad way. I'm getting thrown head on into a situation where I have one day to get 32 AP's (125) and a controller up (3400).
I cant get my hands on the controller before I arrive in a few days, but I think I have everything I need, execpt one thing.
Here are my needs
- 1000 people max - Each with up to 2 max devices (I will never hit this limit)
- In some form, they all need their own passcode.
- users split between 3 SSID's each with a different rate limit, and different QOS settings
I would like to avoid an external captpive portal to handle each user credintial, and I would rather do it via WPA2-PSK-AES so they just have a simple password for each user.
Here is all the info I have on the licenses installed on the controller...

My questions...
-Without any PEF licenses, How many uses WPA2-PSK-AES accounts can I set up on the 3400?
-Can I limit each user/account to only 2 devices?
-The AP's will be the 125's, I know original 125's needed an upgrade to work on 802.11N, but the client says that the AP are alrealdy 802.11N. Was the 125upgrade a firmware thing in each AP, or is it a controller license? Whats 125abg upgrade license?
PS, this controller and these AP's have been been together, its parts from differnt offices coming together at a new office.
