    Hello everyone, 

    I worked previously with other IoT Gateways and I know the standard methodology to use an IoT gateway to forward the collected data to a cloud app. which can achieved by some scripting or making some configuration on the IoT gateway to set the topic I will publish/Subscribe the data from/to (in the case of using MQTT) or the link  I will PUT/GET the data from/to (In case of using HTTP). So, How can I do this through Aruba AP? Is there any documents/demo videos that explain this technical part? or Aruba AP only provide the connectivity infrastructure and it must be an IoT Gateway to deploy a script to make this function.

    Thanks In advance,

    Hi Ahmed,

    Aruba APs work a little bit different compared what people would call IoT gateways. As of today the way to use Aruba APs as IoT connectivity options is via the Aruba IoT Interface, see below, or via usb-based 3rd party integrations. There is currently no support for MQTT or a REST API based approach. Aruba APs are not working as protocol gateways like other IoT gateway solutions. 



    For details on the Aruba IoT Interface specification please see the Aruba IoT documentation.

    Hi Jens, I am looking for MQTT solution with Aruba APs, is there an update about this? Is it supported now?

    Thanks

    Hi, 

    No, there is currently no native MQTt support available. Sorry.

    Regards,
