Ya know... at least for now, if you have the cable drops and ports to support it, (you already know this but sharing for everyone else) you can convert an Aruba campus AP to Instant mode and manage it locally and/or with Airwave without using a controller license. For Airwave of course you'd still need an AW license but if you were just going to have a few to move around as-needed that would be low overhead. As long as they're not servicing clients and they're just being used to scan-only that should work fine.
And like Frank said, if you're looking for basic specan, then as long as it has 2.4 and 5 radios you're good. I'd just make sure you're keeping it under software support to keep the code up to date to update capabilities and keep security vulns patched. Or, put them on a different network not routed to production assets and not even worry about that if they go out of support. ___________ Jennifer Minella, CISSP, HP MASE VP of Engineering & Security Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. www.cadinc.com<http://www.cadinc.com/> j...@cadinc.com<mailto:j...@cadinc.com> 919.460.1313 Main Office 919.539.2726 Mobile/text [CAD LOGO EMAIL SIG] From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> On Behalf Of WIRELESS-LAN automatic digest system Sent: Monday, February 1, 2021 5:00 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: WIRELESS-LAN Digest - 31 Jan 2021 to 1 Feb 2021 (#2021-21) [LISTSERV mailing list manager]<http://www.lsoft.com/> [LISTSERV 15.0]<http://listserv.educause.edu/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=WIRELESS-LAN> WIRELESS-LAN Digest - 31 Jan 2021 to 1 Feb 2021 (#2021-21) Table of contents: * Wireless Segmentation and NAC * Dedicated IDS/IPS monitors (2) * [EXT] Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Dedicated IDS/IPS monitors * android 11 upcoming changes Feb 15th 2021 (3) 1.
