Wireless Access

Hi,

We are looking at deploying an on-premise Aruba WiFi solution with a combination of AP-565 and AP-635 access points with 2 virtual mobility controllers in active passive configuration. We will not be using Aruba Central to manage the APs.

I was thinking of using AOS 10 for the VMCs and APs, and doing some research through documentation, but wasn't able to find a definite answer if Aruba Central was mandatory when running AOS10. Is Aruba Central mandatory when running AOS 110, or can we use AOS 10 without it? Or will I need to run AOS 8?

Thanks

AOS10 needs Aruba Central, yes it is mandatory. So in your case if you dont have/want to use Aruba Central, then you need to go with AOS8.x
