Wireless Access

I always try to do my due diligence but so far haven't been able to find reasons why a Mobility Gateway is necessary if you manage it through Aruba Central

It seems that all security related features can be done on the access-points itself while all roaming related services are in Aruba Central

The only compelling reason I found in this document Segmentation Design | Validated Solution Guide (arubanetworks.com)

It mentions if you have more than 500 APs or 1000 clients you need to use a Gateway. But what about segmentation in general, can't that be done on an AP in a small environment?

I am probably overlooking something, but it would be great if someone knows or can point me to some documentation that shows the compelling reasons to use the Gateway as a mobility gateway in Aruba Central.

Thank in advance

I obviously need a course into "how to navigate" the Aruba documentation! This is exactly the missing puzzle piece, thanks for sharing

New addition to the documentation portfolio, hasn't been linked to the usual locations yet.  So think of that as a sneak peek.
