We just moved to Aruba 8.2.x this summer and are impressed with the automated RF management capabilities. We can now upgrade all or part of our wireless network with zero downtime.
You say “zero downtime”. Aruba says “hitless”. None of those are true.
Don’t misunderstand; it’s far better than what Cisco has, but the system disconnects the clients from the AP side of things, and hence, from a client perspective, it’s not “hitless” or “no downtime”. They just suddenly get disconnected, and they have to reconnect. It’s not the clients decision to move to a new AP.
Would I like this on Cisco; absolutely. I’m not holding my breath, though.
