iBeacon protocol on BLE for Aruba APs

    Hello, I see that Aruba APs (specifically Aruba 630 Series Wi-Fi 6E APs) support BLE. Was wondering what protocol they use? Can they be configured to broadcast / beacon iBeacon protocol packets out?

    Yes, Aruba APs do support sending iBeacon or custom advertisements, epending on the SW version you use. 
    With AP-630 you run 8.9. or 8.10 and can configure up to 3 advertisements.
    If you use Aruba Instant you currently have to configure the ibeacon settings via CLI. Using an Mobility Conductor setup beacon config is possible via UI.
