  • 1.  Controller compatibility with older AP's

    Posted Sep 25, 2017 07:57 AM

    Hello,

    I have a question about compatibility between (older) HP access points and current Arbua controllers. In this case the current wireless envoriment exists of a few HP A-WA2110 (JD446B) access points and a HP 5800 ACM (JD443A) wireless LAN controller (NW module).

    A new wireless network infrastructure will be realised in different phases. The first phase will be implementing a new LAN controller with 5 AP's (both from Aruba). The new enovirement will be implemented parallel to the current envoriment.
    With this implementation there will be a complexity due management of the wireless network infrastructure.

    Therfore i would like to know if it is possible to use the current (old HP) AP's on the new (to be) implemented Aruba wireless LAN controller, with a few new Aruba AP's. I already checked all datasheets but i couldn't recover this..

    Please advise and thanks...

    Is ter an alternative from Aruba to combine this and create a single point of management?
