We are currently running 8.5.0.3 code this year andhave been discussing upgrading to 8.5.0.7. However, we have been advised to hold off, at least for now, by our local account team and also from Aruba TAC. Here is their response.
On Wed, Apr 1, 2020, 6:14 PM This to update you to hold on for upgrade to 8.5.0.7. “We have observed an issue with SNMP incorrectly reporting traps events related to Access point when upgrading to 8.5.0.7/8.6.0.3. Aruba is working on an emergency patch for the same and we will have a formal communication rolled out shortly for all our Customers” Thanks, Martin Reynolds Senior Network Engineer Swarthmore College On Tue, Mar 31, 2020 at 9:46 AM Turner, Ryan H <[email protected]> wrote: > 8.5.0.7 is the landing code for UNC with the bugs that were worked on with > Aruba.
