ARUBA 7200 SERIES MOBILITY CONTROLLERS
Improved network performance, visibility, and control
Aruba 7200 Series Mobility Controllers oer advanced WLAN
services for high-performance, high density enterprise
requirements. The 7200 Series centralize all control
functionality for individual Aruba access points (APs) to
improve AP utilization and client roaming. They also improve
security by ensuring all trac is encapsulated in GRE tunnels
for complete encryption from AP to Controller.
Ideally suited for large campuses, the 7200 Series
enforces centrally-managed policies to ensure a consistent
employee and guest experience wherever they connect. They
can also be deployed with Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to
simplify deployment.
The 7200 Series runs the ArubaOS network operating
system and manages up to 32,728 concurrent users, 2,048
access points and over 2 million active rewall sessions.
With up to 80 virtual CPUs and 100 Gbps of throughput to
perform stateful rewall policy enforcement, the controllers
are in a class of their own – ideal for the most-demanding
enterprises, college campuses, and large public venues.
24/7 MISSION-CRITICAL NETWORKING
Aruba’s unique, patented wireless technologies are based
on AI-powered machine learning algorithms and integrated
directly into ArubaOS. Adaptive Radio Management,
AirMatch and ClientMatch (now enhanced with 802.11ax
grouping) provide RF optimization techniques to improve
user experience and network health based on changing
environmental conditions, correct for noisy or congested
KEY FEATURES
• Support for new 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6), WPA3 and
Enhanced Open – and existing standards
• Patented ClientMatch technology can now group
together 802.11ax-capable devices
• Application awareness for 2,600+ applications with
no additional hardware
• Built in AI-powered wireless/RF optimization
• Unies policy enforcement for WLAN, LAN and
WAN trac

RF and resolve sticky client issues during user roaming.
RFProtect provides advanced spectrum analysis and wireless
intrusion protection (WIPS/WIDS) to help identify and
mitigate Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi sources of interference, as well
as containment of potential security risks. Learn more about
Aruba’s software features on the ArubaOS datasheet.
When deployed with the Aruba Mobility Master, the 7200
Series can be joined to a controller cluster to increase scale,
improve reliability using enhanced High Availability (HA),
adopt congurations seamlessly based on hierarchy, support
Live Upgrades to reduce maintenance windows and share
licenses from a global licensing pool. The 7200 Series also
serves a key, policy enforcement role in Aruba’s 360 Secure
Fabric. For network management, Aruba AirWave provides
real-time monitoring, reporting and Wi-Fi location services.
ENHANCED CAPABILITIES:
802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) enhanced with ClientMatch
The latest Wi-Fi standard brings enhanced performance,
speed, and eciency with key features such as OFDMA,
1024-QAM, and bidirectional MU-MIMO. Combined
with Aruba’s patented ClientMatch technology, 802.11ax
clients will now be grouped together to optimize the
multi-user experience.
Zero Touch Provisioning
The 7200 Series can be factory-shipped and deployed
onsite with cloud-based Aruba Activate. For
network-specic requirements, settings can be applied
based on hierarchical conguration.
Application visibility and control
AppRF ™ with Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology
continuously evaluates and optimizes performance and
usage policies for over 2,600 applications to ensure the
highest possible Quality of Service (QoS) – even for encrypted
or hidden trac.
Web content ltering
WebCC is an add-on feature of AppRF that classies websites
by content category and as rated by their reputation. Block,
apply QoS, bandwidth-limit, mirror and log web content
similar to AppRF for IP addresses and applications.
Unied Communications and Collaboration (UCC)
Dashboard
Visualize and troubleshoot networks based on call quality
metrics such as MOS, latency, jitter and packet loss.
®
Supported applications include: Skype for Business
, Wi-Fi
Calling, Facetime, SIP, Jabber, Spark and more.
Enhanced wireless security
Support for WPA3 brings stronger encryption and
authentication methods, while Enhanced Open brings
automatic security to open networks. New WPA2-MPSK
feature enables simpler passkey management for WPA2
devices – should the Wi-Fi password on one device need to
be changed, no additional key changes are needed for other
devices on the network.
Stateful rewall
Enforcement of consistent user, device, and application
experience across WLAN, L AN, and WAN. When deployed
alongside Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager, policies can
automatically be updated to simplif y conguration.
Dynamic Segmentation
Each 7200 Series Mobility Controller enforces up-to-date
policies from Aruba’s ClearPass policy management system.
Policies are based on role and applied uniformly across the
WLAN and LAN – eliminating the need to congure per-
switch ACLs, VLANs, and subnets.
Integrated VPN services
With support for IPSec/SSL VPNs, Aruba Remote APs (RAPs)
and Aruba VIA VPN users can establish encrypted sessions
without any additional hardware required.
Third-party rewall support
For advanced malware or antivirus protection, the 7200
Series can assume the role of an on-premises agent of
centrally-hosted rewalls such as those provided by Palo Alto
Networks and Check Point Software.
