We haven't had any support issues, but we started using Aruba optics when we transitioned from 1G to 10G. The only problem we had with Aruba where optics were a likely cause involved 3rd-party optics. Aruba continued to work with us, but as it turned out, that MFR used the same SFP hardware as Aruba - only the label was different.
Chuck From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Helman Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 10:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Third Party 10Gbs optics with Aruba Controllers Over on the NETMAN list we have lots of discussions about 3rd party optics. I'm in the process of pricing comparative solutions right now to our existing wireless. FOR EXISTING ARUBA CUSTOMERS .. do you use 3rd party optics on your controllers? If so, have you ever had support issues from Aruba? Feel free to ping me directly. Vendors, this is not a sales opportunity, but if you can answer the questions from a usage/technical viewpoint, that would be great.
