Sites and Labels

You can now create a site using latitude and longitude values. This helps to accurately display the building on a map with the same address.

Aruba Central On-Premises restricts the use of words like Default, Default Site, Default_Site, and Default-Site as the site name.

The site deletion icon is available only when all devices are disassociated from the site. The label deletion icon is available only when the label is not assigned to any device.

For more information, see Managing Sites and Labels

Ekahau Floor Plan Import

Floor plans designed using the Ekahau software can be imported into Aruba Central On-Premises. For more information, see Importing a Floor Plan.

Encrypting credentials on AOS-S Switches using Templates

Aruba Central On-Premises now allows encrypting credentials on AOS-S switches using templates. The encrypt credentials support allows storing, displaying, and transferring of credentials in the encrypted form.

For more information, see Encrypting Credentials on AOS-S Switches using Templates.

Alerts

The following alerts are added in this release:

Stack Link Status Change

A new AOS-CX switch alert is added to the alerts configuration page. This alert is generated when there is a change in the VSF link between AOS-CX switch stack members.

For more information, see AOS-CX Switch Alerts.

Critical hardware fault, thermal failure

These AOS-CX alerts are part of the Switch Hardware Failure alert. These alerts are generated when there is a critical hardware fault or when the temperature of the switch crosses the lower or higher threshold.

For more information, see AOS-CX Switch Alerts.

Switch Reboot (AOS-CX)

A new AOS-CX switch alert is added to the alerts configuration page. This alert is generated when the switch reboots, crashes, or when the Redundancy Switchover action is executed on the active module in the switch.
