Remote & Branch Networking Fundamentals #AirheadsConf Italy
The document discusses Aruba's solutions for deploying remote and branch networks. It covers the challenges of deploying remote networks, Aruba Instant for private WAN deployments, Aruba Instant-VPN, and management and zero-touch deployment. Aruba Instant provides scalable, self-optimizing, and self-healing wireless access for remote offices and branches. Aruba Instant-VPN allows secure connectivity over the WAN for remote networks using IPsec VPN tunnels. Management tools like AirWave and Aruba Central enable centralized monitoring and zero-touch provisioning of remote network devices.

AirWave provides the end-to-end clarity and control to manage mobile users on multi-vendor, multi-site networks. Also provides remote debugging capabilities. The first and only BYOD provisioning and onboarding framework for any network. Delivers unparalleled simplicity when managing and securing network access across wireless, wired and VPNs. Servers as VPN termination point for each of the branch IAP virtual controllers. Aruba Activate for zero touch deployment. Also, security and content filtering services integrated in Instant by partnership with OpenDNS Same role-based context aware architecture can now be extended to wired users. Easier to install than your home Wi-Fi network, Aruba RAPs provide a secure, always-on wired and wireless connection back to the corporate network. Provides investment protection and deployment flexibility for future growth into large branches by ability to convert IAPs to CAPs. Also provides site to site VPN capability. Provides enterprise grade branch solution with site survivability, high availability, and zero touch deployment option. Offers intelligent infrastructure and user management with no dependency on WAN link for control traffic. Aruba VIA client software provides secure network connectivity for smartphones, tablets and laptops. Supports Windows, OS X, iOS and Android platforms. Seen on this slide is the Aruba DE solution architecture. So let us go over the components that comprise the Aruba DE solution and how to position these solutions: So for road warriors who need to connect in to their corporate network, Aruba offers a soft VPN client “VIA” to tunnel traffic in. This works great for individuals using their laptops, tablets or smartphones to access internal corporate content and is supported on Windows, OSx, iOS as well as Android platforms. But what for the home office user, maybe someone who wants to setup a lab at home and communicate with devices on the corporate network. For that RAP’s are an ideal choice. Next is the branch office itself. There are three deployment options that the customers have here. Aruba instant clusters deployed at branches managed centrally by AirWave (and in the future potentially Athena) Aruba Instant clusters deployed at branches, with the VC at each of the branch office forming an IPSec VPN tunnel with the controller at the HQ all centrally managed by AirWave Branch controllers (600 series) deployed at each of the branch offices terminating APs for those branches and Aruba Mobility controller at HQ all centrally managed by AirWave The choice maybe obvious in some scenarios and not so obvious in other. For eg: If the customer has many small to medium branch locations with no requirement to VPN to HQ, then Instant managed by Airwave/Athena would make most sense. However, for customers that do need VPN, Instant terminating VPN on MC at HQ will be preferred. Note that as compared to conventional RAP deployment, Instant terminating to the MC creates just one tunnel from VC to MC and not on per IAP basis. And then there will be some customers who want end to end encryption and do not want to extend and manage VLANs at the edge for their branches, who would prefer the branch controller deployment model.
