Challenges for the Wireless Network Unintelligent Clients Many devices are “sticky” in nature • Client Diversity • New device models every 6 months • Mix of Wi-Fi speeds and capabilities • Crowded Wi-Fi • Multiple devices per user • Carriers pushing users to Wi-Fi
AP220 Series: Unique Hardware Features • Operates w/ 802.3af PoE • No forklift upgrades for 802.11ac migration • Fully Backwards Compatible • > 802.11a/b/g/n/ac • 802.11ac rates for 2.4GHz • Higher 2.4GHz rates*
AP-270 Series • Antenna Gain: 5 dBi • 2G: 3x3:3 11ac (2.4 GHz) • 5G: 3x3:3 11ac (5.15 to 5.875 GHz) • 11ac Beamforming • Conducted Tx Power • 2G: 23 dBm per branch (27.7 aggregate) • MAX EIRP = 36 dBi • 5G: 23 dBm per branch (27.7 aggregate) • MAX EIRP = 36 dBi • Power Interface: AC and 802.3at (PoE+) • Power Consumption: 25 W • WAN + LAN Port • Advanced Cellular Coexistence • IP66 and IP67 • -40° to +65°C • No Heater. Start and operate.
AP-275: Campus Access / Outdoor Retail • Unit does not look like radio • Omni antennas are fully integrated in the chassis • Resembles video cameras and light fixtures • Multiple Bracket Options 21.6 cm
AP-274: Flexible Connectorized Solution • Compact size • Under Mounted Connectors reduces/removes need for weatherproofing • Aesthetic cover reduces visual impact of connectors/cables • Multiple Bracket Options 14.6 cm
Manage the Air: Aruba’s ARM Fair distribution of clients across bands eg. 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz Fair distribution of air-time per radio eg. iPad vs. MacBook vs. iPod Fair distribution of clients across channels eg. Ch 36, 40, 44 Channel 1 Channel 6 Channel 11
Roaming • Roaming from AP to AP is a function of both the infrastructure and the client • The target roaming delay to avoid interruptions on a voice call is 100ms or less Min. Max. Avg. Other Main Vendor Roaming Performance (WPA2-AES Enterprise)
Use of OKC • Security determines handover performance • Organizations want 802.1X-type security with pre-shared key speed: • 802.11r is a new standard, intended to improve handover performance • Use WPA2 with 802.1X and opportunistic key caching (OKC) in centralized-controller WLAN • Advantages of OKC for All HMDs • An OKC handover is more likely to succeed vs. a full 802.1x re-authentication • OKC involves ¼ the number of frames – much less susceptible to errors or retries • Advantages of OKC for Voice Devices • Most VoIP clients transmit and receive one frame every 20 ms • Handover interruption of 40 ms normally results in the loss of 1 or 2 frames (imperceptible to listeners); rather than the 30 to 50 frames that would be lost during full re-authentication • VoIP devices maintain jitter buffers. If handover interruptions can be kept infrequent so the jitter buffer does not expire, the codec finds it easier to maintain a constant media stream, typical with the sub-50 ms interruptions observed during OKC handovers Controller Scaling With OKC No OKC Aruba Lab’s Test of HMD Data Clients
L2/L3 Mobility L2 Mobility design • Layer 2 Mobility • User keeps application connectivity within domain, if its layer 3 network address is maintained • Client maintains IP address as it roams and is assigned address from same IP subnet L3 Mobility design • Layer 3 Mobility • User roams from AP-Subnet A to an AP-Subnet B. Layer 3 network address must change to maintain L3 connectivity on Subnet B • Aruba L3 Mobility allows the HMD client to maintain the same IP address even though it is roaming to a different subnet

Summary Scale Performance
HA Models with Fast Failover • Active / Active • Controller 1 serves APs and acts as Standby for AP served by Controller 2 and vice versa. If one controller fails, the APs will fail over to other controller • Active / Standby • The Active controller serves all AP. If the Active controller fails, all APs will fail over to the Standby controller • N+1 • The Standby controller supports APs from multiple controllers • The AP capacity of the Standby controller must be able to support the total number of APs from the Active Controllers
AP Fast Failover Times • Failover times from AOS 6.3
AP Fast Failover Times In AOS 6.4 < 1 sec
AP Image Preload AP Image Preload feature minimizes the downtime required for a controller. The APs associated download the new images BEFORE the controller actually boots with the new image. WLAN Downtime = tcontroller (reboot) + tap (boot-process) An AP can download (preload) its new image while serving clients at the same time.
Centralized Licensing • Allows licenses to be pooled and shared amongst controllers • Box licenses are not eligible, eg. lic-pefv and built-in AP, eg. 3200-16 • Eval licenses can be part of the pool • Master License Server will be allowed only on Master Controllers and will serve its Local • Local Controllers cannot be a License Server • Each Master-Local sets will have its own Licensing Server • Existing Licenses on controller will become part of the pool • There is no need to transfer licenses • Arubapedia: search for “centralized licensing”

AppRF • Incorporates Application-Aware Deep Packet Inspection technology • Over 1500 Applications • Operates at user role level to provide application control • Block application or categories of apps • QoSapplications • Bandwidth contracts for applications • New Category Dashboard element • Shows apps by category such as Peer-to-Peer, Streaming video • Graphically based application blocking work flow
Plug-n-Play Services vs. Enterprise WLANs 2. 3. 1. • Limited WiFi performance • L3 forwarding of mDNS discovery (multicast) will flood the network • Multicast will use lowest 802.11 data rates over the air • Prone to end user errors • Services, such as AirPlay, do not require authorization by default • Device name assignments prone to errors and repetitions • Designed for home • Devices and services will be on different VLANs in WLANs • Printers and Apple TVs use Pre-Shared Key over Wi-Fi, if not wired
