Aruba Instant on Setup, Cloud stacking switches

[@JasonsLabVideos]

You should tell people if they go Aruba Instant on when they sign up DO 2FA !! it's important :) AND BTW good video ! Watching it all now.

[@Walterz930]

I really like these switches because if you have a multiple level building or a multiple network rooms you could stack the switch’s per location and have a back up clone switch to save time

Great video! We love our AIO portfolio.

[@tempuslogan3493]

Great video man! How long have you been in networking and where did you get your experience? I have UniFi equipment at home and work with both Cisco and Aruba at work so I’m loving all the content on your channel!

[@nielstaildeman]

Nice video! These could be a gamechanger in that pricerange!

[@richacevedo660]

great video thanks Cody!

[@KikiNation1]

This is really cool!

[@strauss-2478]

I don't know Aruba very well. What happens when the internet is off. Can I access it via the local ip?

[@jfkastner]

Well done, thank you!

[@rhb.digital]

funny how Aruba now adapts the "Edgeswitch" way of configuring VLANS tags

[@FOXXX509]

This is some good info. The info about the AP22 helped with my deciding what to get to replace my Unifi APs. Mikrotik cAP AC is much worse. I may try an AP22 to see how it compares to a Unifi Wifi 6 Pro AP. I would be curious to how well the AP22 works with Mikrotik switches when setting up VLANs.

Nice thank you detailed experience

[@danielsan4777]

Hi, nice video. I have a bit of a different situation for myself. I have 4 Aruba instant on switches that I want to stack. I am trying to figure out how to connect them and on which ports to use LACP on. I tried putting all ports 51 and 52 from each switch on a link aggregation but then i lose some switches. Any chance you can help?

[@DruDubay]

The fact that Instant On has a 22 VLAN maximum when cloud managed is ridiculous, way under the competition

[@katlegobopape9760]

Nice one. So when you stack 2 switches, you'll have both switches having local IPs each but have one virtual management IP? It'll also be interesting to see the Aruba CLI - I bet it's similar to that of Cisco ;-)

[@DaemosDaen]

Just like HPs?

[@foldedlettuce1554]

what do you plan to do with the 1960’s after? Really interested in getting one for my home and would love to buy from you!

[@CheekyMiner]

Is Link Aggregation only added when stacking? Reason, I ask is we attempted adding a third 1960 switch to the stack and everything is all screwed up now, switch 2 isn't even online anymore.

[@julianbusty]

Oh also please make a vid on the local interface since you used the cloud

[@xspance]

Must be nice to be able to buy equipment. Anything we want to purchase in Austraila come with months and months of lead time. How are you getting all this kit all the time?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Aruba sent them to me months ago. Not sure where you can get them

[@xspance]

@@MactelecomNetworks all good thank you, we buy through two of the largest suppliers in Australia it’s just leads times on all vendors is horrendous. Stay well and keep up the good work. Thanks for replying.

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@xspance ya supply chain is an issue hopefully it gets better soon :)

[@mikescott4008]

Have you done much with these compared with the Unifi products, I'm waiting on a 1930 24 POE switch, sadly have been for months. I've got Unifi, but I like HPE's warranty Vs Unifi's lucky dip

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I use Ubiquiti pretty well 100% of the time: they send me these switches for review. They work :)

[@mikescott4008]

I’ve got both options atm, but need to get house cable £2500 ish and then go from there. AP25 new in box atm, flexhd and U6-lite in use at home.

Please go on with the stacking in local management. Please update first to v2.6.0.73

[@MactelecomNetworks]

I may in the future

[@ronaldo23425]

Any recurring fees for the cloud access?

[@MactelecomNetworks]

Nope all free

[@ronaldo23425]

@@MactelecomNetworks thanks. And no recurring license or support fees for the switches or AP? No recurring fees period? Wow!

[@MactelecomNetworks]

@@ronaldo23425 exactly like Unifi no fees just need to buy the hardware

[@ronaldo23425]

@@MactelecomNetworks I never thought I’d see that from one of the big manufacturers like Aruba. They must be feeling the heat from Ubiquiti and TP-Link and others who don’t charge recurring fees. I used to love HP Procurve (bought by Aruba) lifetime warranty. You could RMA a switch with no receipt, proof of purchase, etc no hassle. It was great. I wonder how well Arubas lifetime warranty will work on these Instant on switches. Great video, thanks!

[@toribickley]

@@ronaldo23425 these AIO switches have that same limited lifetime warranty. 👍🏼
