Ryan We have a small footprint of Citrix Netscalers after Cisco exited the space. We are not doing anything very taxing or advanced with them. I would echo Eric's comments. They have been set it and forget it. Any required upgrades have been rare but straightforward to do. It's been a very long time ...

+1 for Twillo. We set it up for guest access maybe 5-6 years ago and have never logged in since. It can add up, we are running about $1,000 a month for SMS costs. Patrick

We had our HP orders set to "ship complete" so that everything came on pallets shrink wrapped for each order. The problem was HP were never able to have everything available to ship at the same time so the distributor would use our gear to fulfill other orders. We changed to partial ship and gear started ...

Securew2 increases

Hi all We just received our renewal for Securew2. It is up 17.4% over last year and that was up 12% from the year before. Are others seeing the same levels of price hikes? What are you using for 802.1x client-side configuration that includes EAP-TLD that's not Securew2 and would you recommend it? ...

RE: Clearpass Best Practices

Hi there Do you put your ClearPass servers under RFC1918 or global routable network spaces? If the servers are using RFC1918 addresses, how do they reach out to the Aruba cloud for periodic updates? We used RFC1918 addresses for ipv4. We have a NAT rule on a firewall to allow them to phone home to ...

We have used WTI forever. They do what we need them to do. We just started to use their cellular based term servers which are working well. For USB based ports we used the REM-4R0 with a USB hub to expand the port count. https://www.wti.com/collections/console-servers

Hi all I checked with our Aruba SE. Passpoint will transition away from using Clearpass (@Ryan Turner, they must have heard you load and clear) to using CloudAuth in an Aruba Central instance. You do not have to be all-in on Aruba Central, you just need to leverage the CloudAuth function as the radius ...

+1 for Endrun. We have had them for maybe 20 plus years. Pre and post-sales support has been excellent.

We update the expiration time to +400 days every time the device authenticates to the network. This way the network self purges devices that are no longer on the network. That worked great until Covid when many devices were powered off or taken home. Before the 400 days we used the API to extend the ...

Not sure if you wanted to explore other providers or if there was room for a 19" switch. https://www.arubanetworks.com/products/switches/access/4100i-series/

My only input would be to investigate ArubaOS 8.9.0.1. From what I understand there was a lot of focus on improving the scaling of the AirGroups functions in this release.

+1 for the old listserv. We are in a similar boat. Verizon is full force with their "network transformation" to basically dump their copper network. We have a few thousand analogue lines used for elevators, emergency blue phones, OT, alarms, lobby phones, etc. We are starting to look for alternative ...

Our understanding is Rokus has a patent on DPSK. The varies implementations from the vendors are to skirt around the patent to provide a similar solution while not infringing on the patent. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/ruckus-wireless-awarded-wi-fi-security-patent-for-dynamic-authenti ...

My understanding is there is no inner or outer identifier with EAP-TLS. You can override the EAP-Identity for EAP-TLS, however many radius servers will reject it. This was a problem for us when we moved to EAP-TLS as our community members have email addresses in over 60 domains. We ended up populating ...

Hi We enabled an option in SecureW2 to check for a minimum Intel driver version and provided the url for users to download updated drivers if necessary. Of course, this only applies to newly onboarded devices and not to existing devices. Patrick

Yes, that was step one back late August. We were told SNMP hits the stm process which was having problems.

Hi all Last Friday at 2am we upgraded our main cluster to C release, 8.7.1.5 build 81619. So far everything is working as expected and we have not encountered any issues. We did enable Airwave at that time and we expect we will enable other tools this Friday. I tried to post this update a ...
