  • 1.  1960 - Cloud vs. local Mgmt

    Posted 03-13-2023 09:19 AM

    Hi,

    we are struggeling with the installation of a 1960 environment.

    We want to create a Link Aggregation over 2 ports from two different physical switches via the Cloud Console - nothing special... (Edit: the both Switches are in one stack!)

    But it doesn´t work via Cloud Console - Maybe  only via local mgmt ? 

    Do i have disadvantages when moving to local mgmt ? Do i have all cloud features also on the local WebGUi Mgmt on the 1960s? 

    Can i disable automatic updates on local mgmt ? 

    BR and thank you in advance 

    Cedric

    LAG across two different physical switches is not supported when the stack is managed via the cloud, however possible with Local Web GUI management.
    Local Web GUI management has all of the features supported on the cloud plus additional knobs beyond the cloud as the portal is meant to be simple, and lightweight with more ease-of-use options.
    However, Aruba Instant On Switches can be either local web GUI-managed or cloud-managed. Local management doesn't provide remote management capabilities.
    Automatic updates don't happen on local management and the user has to manually upgrade software images.

    Hi,

    i have the same problem like CR1 - no LAG over different switches in a stack. I think, it isn't possible to get a real high available configuration with, for example, Firewall (2 FWs in HA mode) -> Core Stack (2 Switches) -> Access Stack (2-4 Switches) with the cloud management. Anyway, there are so many differences between cloud and local management (1960s), that are not communicate in a feature list, i'm a little bit frustrated. The cloud management is the instant ONE ;-) reason, for buying "aruba instant on" switches. In my case, we have to switch to local management, because i find no solution to connect my cables without loops.

    Is there anywhere a roadmap for upcoming cloud features or becoming cloud features similar to local available features?

    Thanks, Thomas
