Does Aruba connects directly ONLY to controller?

  • 1.  Does Aruba connects directly ONLY to controller?

    Posted Aug 11, 2019 07:44 AM

    Hello everyone!

    I'm interested in studying Aruba Wi-Fi AP, but i couldn't understand one thing.

    Does APIN315 NEED to be plugged directly in Aruba 7000 Series Mobility Controllers or can it be used through third-party switch with PoE (i have Juniper 4300)?

    Is there any option of controller on Virtual machine that i could use alongside with hardware, that i already have or do i need to buy a controller(for example, ARUBA 7005 mobility controller)?

     

    Regards, 9Apps VidMate

    APIN0315 is the regulatory model number, not the AP model.

    You may have a controller based AP-315 (which requires a controller), or an IAP-315-xx which operates without a controller (Aruba Instant).

    Both share the same hardware and RMN.

    An Ap-315 cannot be converted to IAP-315.
