Chapter 1
Introduction
This design guide is one of a series of books that describes Aruba’s User-Centric Network Architecture
and provides network administrators with guidelines to design and deploy a centralized enterprise-wide
wireless LAN (WLAN) network for the most common customer scenarios.
This guide complements the technical documentation you received with software and hardware
releases for Aruba components.
Aruba Reference Architectures
An Aruba Validated Reference Design (VRD) is a package of network decisions, deployment best
practices, and detailed descriptions of product functionality that comprise a reference model for
common customer deployment scenarios. The VRD presented in this guide is representative of a best
practice architecture for a large Campus WLAN serving thousands of users spread across many
different buildings joined by SONET, MPLS, or other high-speed, high-availability network backbone.
The Campus Wireless Network is one of five reference architectures commonly deployed by our
customers. For a brief description of the other deployment models refer to Appendix C, “Alternative
Deployment Architectures” on page 71.
