Calendar
From the team that’s brought you successful NAC implementations for over 15 years! Join us for the second Tech Talk episode with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, Mark and Jen (and Ron if we can coax him) will cover:
- a vendor-neutral look at planning for NAC
- best and common practices plus “gotchas”
- phased approaches for implementing NAC
- vendor comparisons
- a short intro to FortiNAC including a demo
- updates on the product roadmap (at least whatever we can share that’s not NDA).
In future Tech Talks we’ll be covering Aruba’s ClearPass, and vendor-neutral topics of dynamic segmentation and Zero Trust Network architectures. This first NAC session will lay some groundwork for later.
In our third shorter episode, we’ll take a vendor-neutral look at the Wi-Fi technology and trends shaping today and tomorrow. Join Shital and Jen for the latest trends in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6e, cloud-managed solutions, security integrations, CBRS, and more. We’ll talk about what’s real, what’s hype, and how to start planning for what’s on the horizon. Since it’s a shorter session we’ll try to manage Q&A throughout. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.
- 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6, features and how/when to upgrade
- Update on wired needs for Wi-Fi
- New security standards, WPA3, Open Enhanced, and SAE
- On the horizon Wi-Fi 6e and what you should know
- Non-Wi-Fi wireless, CBRS and Private LTE moving in
- The real scoop on BLE, Location Services, and Contact/Proximity Tracing
- Today’s hot topic- MAC randomization, impact on guest portals, BYOD, and NAC; what behavior OS’s have, and how to work around it
- COVID and Wi-Fi, supporting expansions, pop-ups and more
- What’s new from our partners- Aruba’s announcements of AOS 10, Fortinet and the future of legacy Meru controllers, what’s cooking at Mist

Aruba AOS CX-Edge Hands-on Virtual Workshop
Join Carolina Advanced Digital and Aruba for a hands-on virtual AOS-CX Edge Workshop.
Learn how to install CX in the Access Layer with step-by-step training on common switch config, port security scenarios and policy enforcement with Aruba Clearpass. We’ll also dive into NetEdit switch discovery & fundamental configuration management.
Class registration is limited – we’ll have a small group to make sure you get the most out of the workshop. All that’s required to participate is a laptop/computer with a browser and Internet access.
Registration
Free
Limited seats- Please email your account manager or sales (at) cadinc.com to request an invite.
Aruba CX Switches Core Workshop & Lunch (virtual)
Join Carolina Advanced Digital and Aruba!
Aruba AOS-CX is a platform that can scale from complex multi-tier topologies all the way down to the edge with the same operating system. This is possible with the Aruba 6300s and 8325s switches.
Switches still create the foundation of modern networks, yet their role has moved beyond purely providing high-performance wired connectivity. Switches must now offer high-performance Wi-Fi aggregation and also act as an IoT gatekeeper for everything from surveillance cameras to medical devices – all while delivering uninterrupted 24×7 network availability.
Aruba’s next-gen CX switching portfolio is purpose-built for today’s digital world, satisfying the most demanding use cases from the access layer, to the core, and to the data center. Built on cloud-native principles, our portfolio gives IT the flexibility to deploy a single platform from edge access to the data center that includes intuitive management tools and distributed analytics that transform the IT network operator experience.
Join Carolina Advanced Digital and Aruba for a hands-on virtual CX Core Fundamentals Workshop, and realize the benefits of the CX switch series.
Topics
During the workshop you’ll experience first-hand the following CX features :
- CX Collapsed Core Topology
- VSF Stacking
- VSX Fabric
- VRF
- Interface Groups
- L2/L3 Protocols
- Link Aggregation
- Live Upgrade
- NetEdit Introduction
- Step by step installation of a collapsed core network
- Workshop closes with a live upgrade
Lunch will be provided.
Workshop is offered two dates. Please pick the one best for you.
