• All “P” models support PoE on all ports– Both IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) & Pre-Standard

– Ready for PoE+ devices today (e.g. 11ac APs)

• Share PoE budget across ports– PoE draw automatically negotiated by connected device

– Minimize design and configuration effort

• Ability to limit PoE output per port

– Helps manage PoE usage with limited PoE budgets

• Prioritize PoE availability during a power loss– Ensure critical devices remain available

– Ports set to low (default), high or critical

– Aruba APs automatically recognized and set to “high”

• Efficient use by defining PoE time-of-day profiles– Shut-off PoE during non-use hours and/or days

– Power cost savings and physical security

Hi! You’re critical to the network

so I’m going to set your PoE

priority to high!

Hi! I’m an

Aruba AP!

Hi! You’re an extension of the

access layer so I’m going to

trust your QoS markings

Hi! I’m an

Aruba AP!

I’ll shut it down! I’ll block its

traffic if I find it on trunk or

shutdown the access port

ALERT! I’ve found a

Rogue AP!

Alright, I’ll automatically add

them to our trunk port. Thanks!

I’ve created 3 VLANs!

Role Based User Access

CONFIDENTIAL



Aruba AAA View Of The World

ManufacturersVia MAC OUI

Operating SystemsVia DHCP

Fingerprinting

Our Mobility Access Switches see…

And our security enforcement model uses…

MAC Addresses

Usernames/Passwords

IP PhonesVia Device-Type Fingerprinting

User-roles

…provisioned locally or dynamically

which simplifies AAA deployments

CONFIDENTIAL



A user-role is a container that consists of:

• VLAN ID

• Access Control Lists

• QoS Profile

• Policer Profile

• Captive Portal Settings

• VoIP Profile

What is User-Role?

…A user-role can be referenced locally or passed

down via a Radius Vendor Specific Attribute

CONFIDENTIAL



•User Derivation Rules

• Manufacturers by Vendor OUI– Instead of pre-populating a user database or a static MAC bypass list

with MAC addresses from the same vendor, create a UDR to match on the Vendor’s OUI (first 6 digits or 24 bits) and assign a VLAN or user-role.

• Operating Systems by DHCP Fingerprinting– Operating systems and some classes of devices utilize unique DHCP

messages (e.g. the options they request, the order of the options). A UDR can be created to match on that unique fingerprint or signature and assign a VLAN or user-role.

• IP Phone by Device-Type Fingerprinting– IP Phones and AAA don’t always get along. Device-Type fingerprinting

allows you to match on an IP Phone’s LLDP/CDP “phone” capability announcement so you can create a UDR to assign a VLAN or user-role.

How Do I Implement User-Roles?

No External Radius Required!

CONFIDENTIAL



•Traditional AAA Services

• 802.1x

– For clients with 802.1x compatible supplicants, 802.1x provides secure access using usernames/passwords and/or certificates. Authenticated users can be assigned a default user-role or a specific user-role.

• MAC Authentication

– For network assets that do not support 802.1x, MAC authentication can be used to allow access to the network. Authenticated users can be assigned a default user-role or a specific user-role.

• Captive Portal

– For guest clients, a web page can be provided so that they can login and gain access. Guest users can then be assigned a specific user-role limiting their network access.

How Do I Implement User-Roles?

Supported with Internal and External Auth Servers!
