Hi all,
I recently bought an Aruba S1500-48P switch from eBay. It was factory reset when I bought it, so I am in the process of configuring it for my homelab (e.g. setting up VLANs and such). In doing so, I quickly realized my switch is quite out of date in terms of firmware and ArubaOS. This is my current version:
```
(ArubaS1500-48P) #show version
Aruba Operating System Software.
ArubaOS (MODEL: ArubaS1500-48P), Version 7.4.0.1

```
Is there a way to upgrade ArubaOS (which I think also means I would be upgrading the firmware?) on the device? Maybe to something like AOS 8? Or is my hardware too old? Is there any other info that I can pull off of the switch that would be helpful?
I don't have any configuration on the switch that is not easy to replicate. I fully understand that upgrading the firmware/AOS will blow away anything I don't have backed up. I'm OK with that.
If I can upgrade the firmware/AOS, where do I download the image? And where can I find docs/instructions on how to do that? I have tried searching, but I quickly get lost in a sea of old documentation that I'm not sure applies.
Any help/info will be greatly appreciated. TIA.
