AOS-8.10.0.x
Release Overview
General information about a major release is described in this page. Click on each heading to display the relevant information. For version-specific release notes, select the desired version from the All Versions dropdown menu above.
Important
-
Upgrading from AOS-8.10.0.6 or earlier versions on 9000 Series and 9200 Series controllers will take longer than usual as we will be automatically upgrading the BIOS version to support additional functionality in the future. This upgrade is estimated to take up to 15 minutes and should not be interrupted for any reason. Power failures and interruptions during the upgrade may make the controller unusable. Please use caution and plan accordingly.
Cluster Rolling Upgrade is not supported when a BIOS upgrade is required. AOS-8 must be manually upgraded for these controllers. In a (very rare) scenario where, post reload command, the unit does not come up in 15-20 minutes, apply power cycle only once and wait for a minimum of 15 minutes without re-applying power cycle again.
-
As mandated by the Wi-Fi Alliance, AOS-8.10.0.0 and later versions require Hash-to-Element (H2E) for 6 GHz WPA3-SAE connections. H2E is supported on Android 12 or later versions, Linux wpa_supplicant version 2.10 or later versions, macOS Catalina or later versions, Windows 11 or later versions. Users must upgrade their clients to support successful 6 GHz WPA3-SAE connections.
- The factory-default image of APs introduced in AOS-8.9.0.0 or later versions use aruba-conductor as the host name instead of aruba-master to identify a target managed device or stand-alone controller during DNS discovery. However, the factory-default image of APs that were introduced prior to AOS-8.9.0.0 still use aruba-master during DNS discovery. The usage of aruba-conductor is to align with the Inclusive Language Initiative.
Separation of Cluster and Datapath Commands from 'tar log tech-support'
Cluster and datapath commands have been separated from tar log tech-support. For cluster logs, users should use: tar logs tech-support cluster.
Added Support for Telematrix IP Phones with AP-505H Access Points
Improved AP-505H PSE port compatibility with early generation Telematrix IP phones.
Enhancement to VAPs
The processing time for manually created VAPs to transition from interfering to valid has been enhanced.
RADIUS Authentication Server Profile Configurations Added to AirGroup Version 2
The AirGroup version 2 module now accepts RADIUS authentication profile changes such as nas-IP and source-interface through the aaa authentication-server radius command. Rather than depending on the Mobility Conductor's settings, this feature allows for specific authentication-related configurations to be applied to managed devices.
The configuration varies depending on the AirGroup mode used:
- Centralized mode requires configurations to be applied on both the Mobility Conductor and managed device. In the case of having different profiles configured, the managed device's profile will take priority.
- Distributed mode requires node-specific configuration. In the case of having governing managed devices, the configuration will apply to all member nodes. However, node-specific configuration can still be applied to member nodes if needed.
AAC will report AMON link status to other devices
In AOS-8 8.10.0.9, AAC will send AMON AP information messages to indicate the AP's standby AAC information.
Denylist clients in case of a security context override attempt with the denylist-sco-attack parameter
The aaa-profile command now accepts the denylist-sco-attack parameter, which enables denylisting for clients that attempt to perform a security context override, improving security against malicious authenticated clients. The default value of this parameter is set to disabled.
Jumbo Frames Support over IPSec Tunnels
In AOS-8 8.10.0.0 or later versions, jumbo frames support over site-to-site IPSec tunnels, is added for client devices. This enables devices to ping each other and allows larger download sizes.
Implementation of Port Monitoring on x86 Platforms
In AOS-8 8.10.0.9, port monitoring has been implemented on port channels interface on x86 platforms.
Introduction of the show datapath dpi counters command
Starting from AOS-8 8.10.0.9, a new command is being added to the CLI, show datapath dpi counters. This command displays additional DPI debug counters to improve debugging.
Enhancements to the OFA Core Size
By excluding a section of process memory, OFA core size is reduced. This reduction helps in capturing and debugging OFA cores in scale scenarios.
Enhanced Time Efficiency
In AOS-8 8.10.0.8, the time efficiency when using the write memory command has been improved by adding bocmgr in the nanny list.
Enhanced RADIUS Attribute Modifier
Administrators can now construct STRING-type RADIUS attributes with prefixes and suffixes together with either static values or dynamic values. The aaa radius modifier <RAD-MOD-NAME> command has been expanded to include the [prefix <prefix_val>] and [suffix <suffix_val>] sub-commands.
This enhancement enables administrators to optionally add static or dynamic values with a prefix. Similarly, a suffix can be optionally appended to the value. The resulting string becomes the value of the target RADIUS attribute.
Improved Interference Immunity by Decreasing Rx Desense Level
The cell-size-reduction parameter in the rf-dot11a-radio-profile command has been reintroduced to reduce cell size by controlling Wi-Fi Rx sensitivity. This parameter is used to manage dense deployments and to increase overall system performance and capacity by minimizing co-channel interference and optimizing channel reuse. The default value of this setting is 0. The sensitivity range values can be configured from 0 to 20. It is recommended that Aruba support engineering is contacted in order to adjust the cell-size-reduction configuration. Manipulating this configuration without guidance from Aruba support may have serious adverse effects on network performance.
CLI
show stm perf-history commands
Starting from AOS-8 8.10.0.6, the show stm perf-history duration and show stm perf-history interval commands can be used to view the output for the specified time interval.
Enhancement to the wlsxWlanStationTable MIB
Starting from AOS-8 8.10.0.5, a new wlanStaApName MIB object is added to the wlsxWlanStationTable MIB to simplify the correlation of APs and Stations.
RTS Frame Transmission to the Clients

This section includes the known limitations in 8.10.x.x releases.
Title |
Description |
---|---|
Port-Channel Limitation in 7280 Controllers |
The 7280 hardware architecture consists of two Network Acceleration Engines (NAEs). The ethernet ports are split between the NAEs according to this mapping:
When configuring a port-channel, it is recommended that member ports are distributed between the two different NAEs (e.g., 0/0/0 and 0/0/4) . This is to ensure hitless operation if one of the member ports experiences a link flap either due to a network event or a user-driven action. If member ports are on the same NAE, a link flap will be observed for less than a second. It is not recommended to form a 10 Gbe based port-channel larger than 2x 10 Gbe due to this hardware limitation. |
No Support for Airtime Fairness Mode |
Airtime Fairness Mode is not supported in 802.11ax access points. |
6 GHz Channel Information in Regulatory Domain Profile |
AOS-8 does not display the 6 GHz channel information in the existing regulatory domain profile of Wi-Fi 6E APs by default. To include 6 GHz channel information, ensure that you change the country code to a different country code, apply the change, and then revert it to the original country code. Another option is to create a new regulatory domain profile that includes the 6 GHz channel information by default, or copy the existing regulatory domain profile into a new regulatory domain profile to save the configuration. The following example configures a regulatory domain profile and specifies a valid 6 GHz band. (host) [mynode](config) #ap regulatory-domain-profile reg-635 (host) [mynode] (Regulatory Domain profile "reg-635") #country-code US (host) [mynode] (Regulatory Domain profile "reg-635") #valid-6ghz-channel 165 |
Limitations in 650 Series and 630 Series Access Points |
|
Air Slice is partially enabled on some 500 Series APs |
Air Slice is partially enabled on 500 Series access points and 510 Series access points. However, WMM boost will be functional even if Air Slice high-priority queuing is disabled. |
cpboot command in 7000 Series and 7200 SeriesControllers |
The cpboot command does not upgrade the AOS-8 software version of 7000 Series and 7200 Series controllers. |
Supported Platforms in AOS-8.x
