Setup Bolero Cheat Sheet

Bolero User Guide can be found on SharePoint under:

Riedel-Bolero-User-Guide.pdf

If you route through a network switch, ensure it uses PTP (Precision Time Protocol). If the same switch carries LAN, Bolero, and Dante, create a separate VLAN for each system so PTP traffic doesn’t conflict.

Default Aruba network
