Legacy Support and Future Outlook The 2920 is not compatible with Aruba CX (newer, Linux‑based OS). HPE ended standard support in 2021; however, HPE Foundation Care may still be available until 2026 depending on region and model. After that, no firmware updates will be issued – even for critical vulnerabilities.
