What Gateway version is required for SaaS Express?

SaaS Express was introduced in AOS-8.4.0.0-1.0.6.0, although more applications and other enhancements have been added since then. For an optimal experience, AOS version 8.6.0.4-2.0.0.3 or higher is recommended. For information about how to upgrade, see Updating Software Images on HPE Aruba Networking Gateways.

How is the best exit selected?

The best exit is derived based on the quality measured with probes sent to the SaaS front doors. Based on this data, the Branch Gateways select the best exit for underlay traffic using the probes sent through every uplink used in the SaaS Express configuration.

What is the difference between Monitor and Optimize?

When configured in the Monitor mode, Branch Gateways send probes to the SaaS front doors (every 60s) and actively monitor the SaaS applications performance as it traverses the gateway.

When configured in Optimize mode, Branch Gateways send probes more aggressively (every 10s) and use the result of these probes to route traffic to the SaaS application being optimized through the best exit.
