8. Aruba Gateways and Controllers

By Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE)

4.4

Aruba Gateways (formally called controllers) are pretty straight forward to work with. Setting up is pretty simple, creating clusters, security, etc. works rather well. I've set them up on prem which requires a mobility conductor. Now you set them up using the cloud. There are some quirks here and there, but overall it's a solid backend wireless infrastructure. It's really great to pair these with clearpass for authentication but you can use any other radius. Read all insights and reviews for Aruba Gateways and Controllers
