Offers real-time visibility into client health, signal strength, and network usage. Ideal Use Cases for ArubaOS 6.5
Rogue containment capabilities empower APs to actively act against unauthorized Wi-Fi services within the enterprise perimeter, including rogue APs that represent security threats. Containment can be executed via wired methods (ARP poisoning) or wireless methods including deauthentication and tarpitting.

Aruba's layer-3 mobility solution is based on the Mobile IP protocol standard (RFC 3344). Unlike other solutions, an Aruba mobility solution does not require installing mobility software or performing additional configuration on wireless clients—the Aruba controllers perform all functions enabling clients to roam within the mobility domain. Within a mobility domain, a mobile client receives a home address on a home network and can detach at any time, reconnecting to a foreign network while maintaining connectivity through tunneling mechanisms managed by home and foreign agents.
Summary
added new CLI commands including RADIUS modifier profile configuration, ARM traffic steering enhancements for iOS devices, MU-MIMO group display commands, and Hotspot 2.0 Query Protocol profile support for Online Sign-Up providers.
AOS 6.5 empowers administrators to define security policies based on user roles (e.g., student, employee, guest, IoT device) rather than just IP addresses or VLANs. This ensures users and devices access only the resources they need, implementing a Zero Trust security posture.
