Hi Chad, We’ve been running 8.x for almost a year and have certainly hit a fair share of issues. We are currently on 8.2.0.2 which has been running since it was released. Myf advice is that you might have better luck using the CLI rather than the web GUI to make configuration changes.
Some things we’ve noticed in our deployment: - The “DHCP Required” option to ensure only client devices that have obtained an address via DHCP are allowed access to the network ended up causing major issues. This resulted in web pages loading very slowly or halfway, or not at all. - Lots of AP crashes in 8.2.0.2. - Configuration push from MM to MD had some issues initially with consistency checking. - Configuration missing after upgrades possibly due to MDs reverting to previous config version as a result of being unable to contact the MM - Inconsistencies for client count and AP count on the MM, but looking at the MDs directly shows correct information - Inconsistencies with bandwidth contracts being applied to dual stack clients, usually it is applied to the link local IPv6 address instead of the IPv4 address. Hope that helps, ----------------------------------- Eric Kenny Network Architect Harvard University IT ----------------------------------- > On Mar 12, 2018, at 1:37 PM, Chad Patterson <cpatter...@fsu.edu> wrote: > > We are planning to move to the Aruba 8.0 controller architecture/code at some > point in the future and We’d like to know how it was for those of you who > have made the move.
