A gateway cluster in AOS-10 provides stateful redundancy and coordinated failover between gateways, enabling seamless session continuity and high availability. It is specifically designed for gateway-level resiliency, making it the correct mechanism for transparent failover behavior.

The Application Visibility dashboard provides deep packet inspection (DPI) data, allowing administrators to monitor and analyze the specific types of traffic traversing the network. It classifies data into distinct application categories and individual web applications, showing exactly how much bandwidth each consumes. This tool is essential for verifying that traffic is being correctly identified and handled according to the defined Quality of Service (QoS) and security policies.

Loop protection is designed to detect and prevent Layer 2 loops on access ports where spanning tree cannot reliably operate. It monitors for loop conditions and takes corrective action such as shutting down or blocking the affected port to maintain network stability.

Bulk Firmware Upgrade streamlines software maintenance by enabling administrators to schedule and execute firmware updates across multiple devices at once.

Aruba Central provides unified management for wireless access points, switches, and gateways from a single cloud-based platform.
