The Aruba Networks S3500 Mobility Access Switch is an integral part of the Aruba Mobile Virtual Enterprise (MOVE) architecture, which centralizes network access policies, security, traffic forwarding and management using a consistent set of services for wired and wireless, regardless of location, user, device or connection type.
The S3500 makes network operations more efficient while providing users with the seamless connectivity that they expect wherever they work or roam.
The S3500 uniquely supports three flexible deployment modes. As a wired access point, all ports on the S3500 are configured to tunnel traffic to a centralized Aruba Mobility Controller where the access network services, including authentication and policy enforcement, reside. Optionally, the S3500 supports a full complement of Layer 2 and Layer 3* (roadmap) forwarding protocols, and ports may be configured for local forwarding. Deployment modes are configured on a port-by-port basis.
