FAQ - Migrating to AOS 10

Is my AP supported on AOS 10?

Find your model in the list: Supported Devices for AOS 10

Can I convert my existing Central group to AOS 10?

No. The configuration constructs behind the scenes do not allow for a direct conversion from a group supporting IAP to a group supporting AOS 10.

Can I duplicate my AOS 10 group?

You can clone the existing group as long as no orchestrated configuration, i.e., tunneled or mixed WLANs, has been setup.

Can my AP be downgraded back to AOS 8 or IAP 8 after converting to AOS 10?

Yes. Steps are mentioned at the end of each section above.

What happens if the AP is configured with an uplink VLAN prior to upgrade?

In Aruba Instant 8, the AP automatically uses the uplink native VLAN as the management VLAN, but AOS 10 does not. AOS 10 continues to expect management to occur on VLAN 1 and will tag the management traffic on the uplink. Make sure to clear the uplink native VLAN configuration before installing AOS 10 to prevent the AP from losing communication.
