THIS INNOVATION BEGINS WITH COLORLESS PORTS AND ROLE-BASED MICRO-SEGMENTATION TECHNOLOGIES.  COLORLESS PORTS ALLOWS WIRED CLIENTS TO CONNECT TO ANY SWITCH PORT, WITH THE CONFIGURATION AUTOMATED USING RADIUS-BASED ACCESS CONTROL. THIS ELIMINATES THE NEED FOR MANUAL ON-BOARDING OF CLIENTS, INCLUDING IOT DEVICES, ONTO THE NETWORK.   ROLE-BASED MICRO-SEGMENTATION DELIVERS BENEFITS OF REDUCED SUBNET AND VLAN SPRAWL, SIMPLIFIED POLICY DEFINITION, AND SCALES POLICY ENFORCEMENT BY INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF CLIENT USER ROLES. THESE ROLES ARE INDEPENDENT OF NETWORK CONSTRUCTS SUCH AS VLANS, AND ALLOWS CLIENTS TO BE GROUPED INTO A USER ROLE BASED ON THEIR IDENTITY. THIS ALLOWS THE COLORLESS PORTS TECHNOLOGY TO AUTOMATICALLY ON-BOARD CLIENTS ONTO USER BASED TUNNELS OR ONTO STATIC VXLAN TUNNELS BASED ON THE ASSOCIATED USER ROLE POLICY.  BY STEERING TRAFFIC TO ARUBAS APPLICATION AWARE POLICY ENFORCEMENT FIREWALL, USER BASED TUNNELING PROVIDES THE ABILITY TO MICRO SEGMENT AND PERFORM DEEP PACKET INSPECTIONS FOR ENHANCED SECURITY.
