SD-WAN

AOS 10.x enables APs in remote sites to use most of the SD-WAN features and be managed by Aruba Central. This deployment model is called Micro Branch.

This is a 5x part microbranch series. The aim here is to provide the starting point to put together a solution that include the AOS10 APs as microbranch, two VPNCs that are clustered along with Aruba Central to configure and monitor the solution.

·         Part1 – Solution overview, basic configuration and testing of VPNC and AOS10 AP

·         Part2 – Centralised L2 forwarding mode with authentication and policy-based routing

·         Part3 – NATed Layer 3 forwarding mode with centralised authentication proxy

·         Part4 – Routed Layer 3 forwarding mode with centralised authentication proxy

·         Part5 – Overlay Route Orchestrator, route summarisation, BGP routes redistribution and monitoring

Hope you'll find it useful and as always please send through your feedback for improvement.

Great comprehensive documentation, one thing I would have liked to see is how to configure VPNC redundancy at a Layer3 level.  I found this document but it does not seem to be aligned with the Aruba Central UI, referring to page 17. In my case I have two datacenters separated at layer3, one should be primary and the other backup. How would one do that? Thanks in advance

the page 17 refers to setting DC preference, you should be at group level. Perhaps a screenshot would have been a good addition to that doc.
