Minimum Software Requirements
The W-3000 Series Controllers require ArubaOS 5.0.2 or later.
Note: The master controller, its redundant master controller, and all of its local controllers must run on the same ArubaOS version.
Once you upgrade your network and install the W-3000 Series Controllers into your network, verify that the software version on
your controller matches the rest of the network. If the version shipped on the controller is prior to the version that you upgraded
your network to, you must upgrade the code on the controller to match the rest of the network.
