     Howdy!
    I expect this forum to be my home now, lol, I'm quite new to networking, so I do apologize for any confusion!

     How does Aruba Central work with unmanaged/non-hpe switches? After some reading I found LLDP needs to be enabled, so Aruba Central switches can see the device. But what if its, AC Switch<Non-AC<Non-AC. Will Aruba Central see all switches? And what would it look like in the overview map, details on if the switch is seen or if its down?

    Basic LLDP information will be visible in "Site > Client > Neighbour" (for an Aruba Switch) as well as in the LAN config for a port.
    But the topology will just be Aruba gear.
