    Hi Experts,

     

    If we have a huge deployment with Multiple COntrollers, can we have a Master Controller to manage all different Controllers centrally?

    Thanks a lot

    You posted this question in the controllerless forum. Is your question about Instant (controllerless) or controller networks?

     

    If you have many Aruba Instant clusters, you should have a look at Aruba Central (cloud management) or Aruba Airwave if you prefer on-premise solutions.

     

    In case of controllers, you probably want to look at the ArubaOS 8 architecture which as a Mobility Master, which does what you describe. Check here for the ArubaOS 8 Fundamentals Guide.

    Yes, there are several options depending on the ArubaOS version you are running:

    - For ArubaOS 6.x: you can configure a master/local setup where the master manages the configuration of the local controllers. You can find more info here (chapters 3 and 5)

    - For ArubaOS8: all the config is handled in the Mobility Master. More info here: http://www.catelsys.com/v3/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/0-Notices-ArubaOS-8.0.1.0-User-Guide.pdf
