Introduction to AOS-10 (IAOS10)

For years, enterprise Wi-Fi was built around on-premises controllers, with each site configured and upgraded separately. HPE Aruba Networking AOS-10 changes that model. Access points and gateways run AOS-10 and are managed from the cloud through HPE Aruba Networking Central, so configuration, monitoring, upgrades, and licensing can be handled centrally across every site.

AOS-10 training in Saudi Arabia gives networking professionals a fast, practical route into this platform. Introduction to AOS-10 (IAOS10) is a two-day course combining instruction with labs. Learners revisit WLAN and RF fundamentals, explore AOS-10 architecture, configure access points, user roles and firewall policies, deploy gateways and clusters, set up tunnel forwarding and microbranch, and use cloud services such as live upgrades, key management and central licensing.

Course Structure and Key Details

Introduction to AOS-10 runs for two days and is delivered by an instructor in the classroom or online, with e-learning available through some partners. Instructional modules are supported by labs, so learners configure AOS-10 features rather than only reading about them.

The first day builds the foundations. The course opens with WLAN fundamentals and RF basics, covering bands and channels, 802.11 standards, antennas, radio technologies, transmit power, and WLAN mobility. It then introduces security-first, AI-powered networking and the role of HPE Aruba Networking Central at the network edge, before explaining AOS-10 architecture, the product line and supported hardware. The access point module covers how AOS-10 APs differ from Instant APs, AirMatch and ClientMatch, Central groups, AP-only WLAN configuration and monitoring.

The user roles module explains the stateful firewall, roles, policies and rules, role derivation, the identity-based firewall, access control, application rules, aliases, and global and WLAN policies. Gateways follow, including when to use them, gateway modes, AP and switch connections, tunnel orchestration, gateway-to-gateway tunnels, and cluster configuration and monitoring.

The final modules cover tunnel forwarding mode, with the tunnel orchestrator, tunnel-mode SSID configuration and mixed forwarding mode; microbranch, including configuration and policy-based routing; and cloud services, including changes from AOS-8 to AOS-10, WAN bandwidth requirements, live upgrades for APs and gateways, key management and central licensing.

Learners should understand networking fundamentals, IP addressing, and IP routing before attending. No certification exam is included in the course.
