Happy New Year Airheads!
It is my pleasure to announce the availability of ArubaOS 7.2.0.0 for the Mobility Access Switch product family.
AOS 7.2.0.0 is a major milestone in the Mobility Access Switch portfolio as it includes many new capabilities and a new member of the S3500 family, the S3500-24F!
The S3500-24F is a 24-Port 1000Base-X SFP based platform. It supports the same hardware high-availability features as the other S3500s (field-replaceable fan tray and optional redundant power supply) and the 4xSFP/SFP+ uplink module enabling it to form an ArubaStack with other S3500s as well as S2500s. The S3500-24F also supports the existing software feature set of the S3500s/S2500s (e.g. L2, L3, etc) plus all the new AOS 7.2 features.
Here are just a few of the new features found in AOS 7.2!
