Frequently Asked Questions

Gateways typically combine routing, firewall, and SD-WAN capabilities for branch deployments, while controllers focus on managing and coordinating access points for wireless network operations. The 9000 series gateways provide both SD-WAN and security features, while the 9200 series campus gateway is optimized for high-density enterprise wireless deployments.

Virtual Mobility Controllers are ideal when you want deployment flexibility, have existing virtualization infrastructure, or need to scale without additional hardware. Hardware appliances are preferred when you need dedicated performance, have high-density requirements, or prefer a turnkey solution.

Aruba gateways can be managed through Aruba Central for cloud-based visibility, configuration, and monitoring. This provides unified management across your entire network infrastructure including access points, switches, and gateways from a single dashboard.

Dynamic Segmentation is Aruba's approach to network security that automatically applies role-based policies to users and devices across both wired and wireless networks. It ensures consistent security enforcement and traffic separation without manual VLAN configuration.
