Supported AOS-S Platforms
- Aruba Central uses the SSL Secure Sockets Layer. SSL is a computer networking protocol for securing connections between network application clients and servers over the Internet. certificate by GeoTrust Certificate Authority for device termination and web services Web services allow businesses to share and process data programmatically. Developers who want to provide integrated applications can use the API to programmatically perform actions that would otherwise require manual operation of the user interface.. As the SSL certificate is about to expire, Aruba is replacing it with a new certificate from another trusted Certificate Authority. During the certificate upgrade window, all devices managed by Aruba Central will be disconnected. After the upgrade, the devices reconnect to Aruba Central and resume their services with Aruba Central. However, for AOS-S switches to reconnect to Aruba Central after the certificate upgrade, you must ensure that the switches are upgraded to the recommended software version listed in Table 1.
- Aruba Central does not support switch software versions below 16.08 release for firmware upgrade. In addition, only the latest three switch software versions of all major release versions will be available for firmware upgrade from Aruba Central. For example, if the latest switch software version released is 16.10.0016, the following versions will be available for firmware upgrade: 16.10.0014, 16.10.0015, and 16.10.0016.
- If the switches are managed in UI groups, it is not recommended to change the AOS-S switches firmware from latest version to earlier major versions. For features that are not supported or not managed in Aruba Central on earlier AOS-S versions, changing firmware to earlier major versions might result in loss of configuration.

Provisioning and configuring of Aruba 5400R switch series and switch stacks are supported only through configuration templates. Aruba Central does not support moving Aruba 5400R switches from the template group to a UI group.
