Supported AOS-Switch Platforms

  • To manage your AOS-Switches using Aruba Central (on-premises), ensure that the switch software is upgraded to 16.09.0010 or a later version. However, if you already have switches running lower software versions in your account, you can continue to manage these devices from Aruba Central (on-premises).
  • Changing AOS-Switches firmware from latest version to earlier major versions is not recommended if the switches are managed in UI groups. For features that are not supported or not managed in Aruba Central (on-premises) on earlier AOS-Switch versions, changing firmware to earlier major versions might result in loss of configuration.

The following tables list the switch platforms, corresponding software versions supported in Aruba Central (on-premises), and switch stacking details.

Template only

Provisioning and configuring of aruba 5400Aruba 5400R switches and Aruba 5400R switch stacks is supported only through configuration templates. Aruba Central (on-premises) does not support moving Aruba 5400R switches from the template group to a UI group. If an Aruba 5400R switch is pre-assigned to a UI group, then the device is moved to an unprovisioned group after it joins.

Data sheets and technical specifications for the supported switch platforms are available at: https://www.arubanetworks.com/products/networking/switches/.
