  • 1.  ArubaOS 6.5 or 8.0 for basic usage ?

    Hi there, we have bought a mc7024 which we are going to use for events up to 2.000 clients. Usage and setup is not impressive tehnical but we want as many info about client heath status, deep insights in waht clients do and how roaming performance is.

    Should we go for 8.0 or is 6.5 better for now? I don't really have worked with MC so far but I can understand 8.0 maybe has some performance issues due the recent launch - or not?

    We use 225 and 215 IAP.

    6.5

    AOS 8 is very new and is a bit different than 6.x

    I understand, but note we never used a MC and thus not familiar with either 6.5 or 8.0.

    So I always prefer newest software when start working with new hardware, so what is then best option?

    If you're going to use 8.0, be sure to reach out to your Aruba or partner SE.
