FAQs

Q: What is the Aruba R1Q05B Networking Central Appliance used for?
A: The R1Q05B is an on-premises management appliance that delivers the Aruba Central network management platform locally within your own data centre. It allows you to manage Aruba switches, access points, and gateways without requiring a cloud connection — suited to organisations with data sovereignty or compliance requirements.

Q: What is the difference between this appliance and the cloud-based Aruba Central?
A: Aruba Central is typically delivered as a cloud-hosted SaaS platform. The R1Q05B appliance provides the same core management capabilities but runs entirely on-premises, making it suitable for air-gapped networks, government environments, or sites with restricted internet access.

Q: How many devices can the 512 GB appliance support?
A: The 512 GB storage variant is Aruba's larger capacity configuration, designed to support a substantial number of managed devices. For precise device scaling limits, please contact our team at iptrading.com.au for guidance based on your environment size.

Q: Does this appliance require an ongoing subscription or licence?
A: Aruba Central on-premises deployments typically require appropriate subscription licences per managed device. The R1Q05B appliance provides the hardware platform; licensing is managed separately. Contact IP Trading for bundled pricing options.

Q: Is this appliance compatible with the full Aruba portfolio?
A: Yes. The Aruba Networking Central appliance is designed to manage the broader Aruba portfolio including Aruba CX switches, Aruba access points (campus and Instant On enterprise tiers), and Aruba gateways, providing a unified management pane across your network infrastructure.
