Wireless Access

Hello,

I recently had a requirement to provide wireless connectivity to large number of branch sites, Encrypt all communication happening between the branch sites and the HQ, and rapidly deploy branch controllers/APs to provide WiFi access to hundreds of branches in a secure and efficient manner. Customer mandated that we should not use a Cloud-based solution.

Although the Aruba Mobility Master, VPNCs and Branch Controllers running 8.x code could achieve this, it was hard to find a verified design document that captured this requirement. After spending days and months building and testing the solution, there is now a solution that is scalable, secure and cost-effective.

Please feel to have a read , and leave your comments.

Thanks Aria, 

I am aware of the Aruba SD-Branch solution , however the customer did not want to use a Cloud based solution. so we built the solution entirely using 2 Mobility Masters and controllers and nothing else.
