An Aruba Controller Network is a centralized architecture that provides unified management and control over a network of Aruba Access Points (APs), ensuring seamless, secure, and scalable connectivity. In this setup, an Aruba controller acts as the aggregator of the network, managing traffic routing, user authentication, RF optimization, and security policies across all connected APs.
