As a result of the lack of QA, we removed all 1000 of our Cisco AP's and moved to Aruba. Since then, we have had zero problems.
Cisco really needs to get their stuff together, their Wireless has not been an Enterprise level product, in my opinion.

At the time the bug was a Sev 2 with Cisco. They provided an engineering release which we ran until the issue was finally resolved in later code. More proof that QA in large environments is lacking, to say the least. I’m with Bruce on this one, we are running Aruba 8.3.0.1 release and have used the live upgrades a few times now. The only issues we’ve seen with it are our mesh deployment, but I hear they are working on that. Client devices will roam as Joachim mentioned, but as long as you have roaming setup correctly, it’s almost always transparent to the user. ----------------------------------- Eric Kenny Network Architect Harvard University ITS ----------------------------------- > On Aug 23, 2018, at 7:33 AM, Osborne, Bruce W (Network Operations) > <bosbo...@liberty.edu> wrote: > > Come over to the Intelligent Wi-Fi side! :D > > We just moved to Aruba 8.2.x this summer and are impressed with the automated > RF management capabilities.
