Aruba Instant 6.5.0.0-4.3.0.0 | User Guide
Activate and is provisioned as an IAP > Remote AP, Activate responds with mobility controller IP address, IAP
group, and IAP type. The IAP then contacts the controller, establishes certificate-based secure
communication, and obtains configuration and image from the controller. The IAP reboots and comes up as
a Remote AP. The IAP then establishes an IPsec connection with the controller and begins operating in the
Remote AP mode.
l
If an IAP entry is present in Activate and a provisioning rule is configured to return the IP address or host
name of the AirWave server, the IAP downloads configuration from AirWave and operates in the IAP mode.
l
If there is no response from Activate, the access point comes up with default configuration and operates in
the IAP mode.
A mesh point cannot be converted to Remote AP, because mesh access points do not support VPN
connection.
An IAP can be converted to a Campus AP and Remote AP only if the controller is running ArubaOS 6.1.4 or later
versions:
The following table describes the supported IAP platforms and minimal ArubaOS version required for the
