Aruba Central: cloud-managed campus and branch the right way
TechLeague Editorial··7 min read
Aruba Central moves campus and branch from box-by-box to cloud-managed. The trick is the group/template structure on day one.
Groups
- Per-site groups inherit from a global template.
- Variables for unique values.
Templates
- UI templates for simple sites; CLI templates for complex.
- Version every template.
AI Insights
- RF, wired and WAN insights surface issues before tickets.
Security
- Role-based access, MFA, audit logs.
- Federated identity to corporate IdP.
Resilience
- Choose region with data residency in mind.
- Devices keep policy if Central is unreachable.
