Aruba 7240XM IEEE 802.11ax Wireless LAN Controller

About the Aruba 7200 7240XM

Aruba 7200 Series Mobility Controllers enhance WLAN performance for high performance, high density enterprise requirements. The 7200 Series centralizes all control functionality for individual Aruba access points (APs) to improve AP utilization, security, and client roaming. Ideally suited for large campuses and high density environments, the 7200 Series can be deployed using Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) to simplify deployment.

SIMPLE AND SECURE ACCESS

The 7200 Series serves a key role in Dynamic Segmentation, providing Aruba's Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) to enforce policies based on user role, device type, application, and network location - and simplifying and securing wired and wireless network access. Traffic is encapsulated in GRE tunnels for complete encryption all the way from an AP or switch. This feature can be enabled with the ArubaOS PEF license and eliminates the need to manually configure SSIDs, VLANs or ACLs for each new client on the network.

HIGH PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY

Each 7200 Series provides connectivity for up to 32,728 concurrent users or client devices, 2,048 access points and over 2 million active firewall sessions. With up to 80 virtual CPUs and 100Gbps of maximum throughput to perform Policy Enforcement Firewall (PEF) features, the 7200 Series are in a class of their own -- ideal for the most demanding enterprise, college, and large public venue requirements.

For enhanced resiliency and availability, the 7200 Series can be clustered together in a network managed by Aruba Mobility Master

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 Wi-Fi 6 grouping) provide RF optimization techniques to improve user experience and network health based on changing environmental conditions, correct for noisy or congested 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 configurations 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.
