Terminology Change

As part of advancing HPE's commitment to racial justice, we are taking a much-needed step in overhauling HPE engineering terminology to reflect our belief system of diversity and inclusion. Some legacy products and publications may continue to include terminology that seemingly evokes bias against specific groups of people. Such content is not representative of our HPE culture and moving forward, Aruba will replace racially insensitive terms and instead use the following new language:

Usage	Old Language	New Language
Switch Security	Master	Main
Switch Routing	Master	Main Router
Smart Link	Master-Slave	Primary-Secondary
Chassis Events, IPv6 Configuration, and Troubleshooting	Master-Slave	Management-Slot
Switch Stack	Master-Slave	Conductor-Member
Switch Security, Configuration and Routing	Blacklist, Whitelist	Denylist, Allowlist
Route Type	Blackhole Route	Null Route
Type of Hackers	Black Hat, White Hat	Unethical, Ethical
