Support for New IAP Devices
Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0 release introduces support for the following new IAP devices. These new devices do not
interoperate with Instant versions lower than Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0. If these IAPs are placed into a cluster
running older Instant versions prior to Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0, the devices will reboot with the Image Sync
Fail reason. To resolve this issue, upgrade the existing cluster to minimum Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0 release, and
then add the new IAP devices.
Aruba Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0 | User Guide
Description
The password of management users can be stored and displayed in hash format
instead of encrypted text format. Hashed passwords are more secured as they cannot
be reversed.
IAPs can display a text banner when users are on a management session. The session
can remain active even without any user activity. The commands banner and
loginsession are introduced in this feature.
The parameters temporal-diversity and max-retries are introduced to enable the IAP
to perform software retries, and also manage the retry attempts when clients are not
responding to 802.11 packets.
This release introduces support for IPv6 and enables the IAP to access control
capabilities to clients, firewall enhancements, management of IAPs through a static IPV6
IP, support for IPV6 RADIUS server.
An IEEE 802.11w standard that increases security by providing data confidentiality of
management frames.
