    Hello,

    Our company is using "Aruba Mobility Controller 7205 (RW) (JW735A)" so I have 2 questions to ask everyone 

    1.Can I use another device "Aruba Mobility Controller 7210 (RW) (JW743A) or "Wifi Aruba 9240 Campus Gateway R7H97A"" and configure it to run HA group with the above code 7205

    2.If our company is using only 1 device "Aruba Mobility Controller 7205 (RW) (JW735A)" when it is broken, can I quickly convert the aruba wifi infrastructure to use virtual controller    

    (I have: Aruba IAP: 225/325/535 on campus)

    Thanks for everyone's information

    Those are questions with many possible answers, which depend on the architecture and software versions.

    Probably the answer is yes, but there are smarter things to do. I'd recommend to work with your Aruba partner and start with the design that would best fit your environment, then work from where you are to where you want to be. It's not simple to do that in a forum like this.

    Hi Herman Robers.,

    "Probably the answer is yes,"  you mean i can configure HA for 2 different controller models.? (EX: 7205 and 9240), actually i want to know more so i can discuss with suppliers more clearly

    Thank you very much

    Because it may be done, but lead into a non-optimal situation, there may be smarter things to do and that's better to discuss with your supplier as there may be many possibilities and combinations, which are hard to all cover in a forum.
