Implementing user-based tunneling (UBT) on AOS-CX switches is beneficial for applying enhanced
security features such as deep packet inspection (DPI) to wired traffic. UBT allows the traffic from
specific users or devices to be tunneled to a central controller or security appliance where advanced
security policies, including DPI, can be applied. This approach ensures that even wired traffic benefits
from the same level of security and inspection typically available for wireless traffic, thus enhancing
overall network security.
Reference: Aruba's documentation on UBT and AOS-CX configuration guides detail how to set up
user-based tunneling and the benefits of applying advanced security features like DPI to tunneled
traffic.
