What Client Match does
Client Match continuously monitors the health of all
clients connected to each AP and optimizes wireless
client performance by managing load balancing, band
steering/band balancing, and sticky clients.
Match to
another AP
Use cases Client Match helps address
• Clients connected with weak signals.
• Clients connected to an oversubscribed access point.
• “Sticky clients” that remain connected to a single AP
even when roaming to an area with APs that offer
better connectivity.
Optimized roaming performance now with support
of IEEE 802.11k, 802.11r, 802.11v

More network scheduling options for Wi-Fi and PoE
Customize with new Variable schedule
Enhanced Network Schedule setting for
wireless network and PoE provides more
flexibility:
• Existing Fixed option - "Active between"
and "All day".
• Newly added Variable option - schedule
for each day during the week.
Use cases
• Hotel or Airbnb can provide wireless
connectivity per guest stay time (e.g.,
check in 3pm Friday, check out 11am
Sunday).
• Control or turn off PoE power on
weekend or during off hours for power
savings.

What Jumbo Frames support does
• Allows a larger Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) on clients that will
send/receive jumbo frames, usually by setting the MTU to 9000.
Benefit
• Improve data transmission efficiency by reducing the number of
frames and overheads for switches to process.
Use case
• For larger file transfer (e.g., media files) from or to local storage.
Note
• This action is per-switch (not per-site).
• Reboot is required for jumbo frames configuration changes.
• Jumbo frame not supported on Aruba Instant On APs.
Jumbo Frame support
Switching Jumbo frame Support

How it works
Cloud-managed stacking takes decision and shares jumbo frames setting among members.
• Jumbo frames setting applies to all stack members.
• Newly added stack member will adopt the stack’s jumbo frames setting.
• Switch will keep stack jumbo frames setting when unstacking.
Jumbo Frame support for cloud-managed stacking
Stack shares Jumbo Frame setting among switches in stack

Multi-factor Authentication feature now prompts for
recovery email address so you don’t get locked out.
How it works
• Recovery email will be asked for while enabling MFA.
• The recovery email will be used to send an OTP to allow the user
to be able to login in case he lost his OTP device.
What it avoids
Currently, if a user, who has MFA enabled, lost his OTP device and
forgot recovery code, the use cannot recover the account.
Note - For the current users who have not configured a recovery
email, the existing account email will be used.
