Wireless Access

Hi All,

We have been using Aruba IAP's for some time now in SMB deployment. Usually we have used these with a managed Netgear M4100 series switch, these work well and handle the VLANS, ACLs and DHCP pools. I wanted to evaluate the S2500 series to see if its worth going completely Aruba on the Wired and Wi-Fi. 

But apart from feature sets and datasheets I am struggling to find out more on the Mobility Switches, can someone poit me in the right direction? Seein how the interface looks and feels and how processes are done like DHCP server pools and VLAN creation would be great.

Are the switched primarily setup by CLI or WebGUI etc, if anyone has some examples and/or experience going from Netgear Prosafe managed to the Aruba switches that would be awesome.

Thanks

Rob.

Have you considered working with an Aruba Partner?

Hi cappalli

We are an aruba partner, but at a basic level and purchase through a big distributor that is ot so technical! I dont currently have any Aruba traing nad all the stuff I know about IAP's was learned on the job.

I am very familiar with Cisco however.
