There is no configuration required on the APfor enabling LACP support. However, you can view the status of LACP
on IAPs by using the following command:
(Instant AP)# show lacp status

Understanding Hierarchical Deployment
AnIAP-130 Series or RAP-3WN (with more than one wired port) can be connected to the downlink wired port of
another IAP (ethX). AnIAP with a single Ethernet port (like IAP-90 or IAP-100 series devices) can be provisioned to
use Ethernet bridging, so that Ethernet 0 port is converted to a downlink wired port.
You can also form anIAP network by connecting the downlink port of an AP to other APs. Only one AP in the
network uses its downlink port to connect to the other APs. This AP (called the root AP) acts as the wired device for
the network, provides DHCP service and an L3 connection to the ISP uplink with NAT. The root AP is always the
master of the Instant network. In a single Ethernet port platform deployment, the root AP must be configured to use
the 3G uplink.
A typical hierarchical deployment consists of the following:
l A direct wired ISP connection or a wireless uplink.
l One or more DHCP pools for private VLANs.
l One downlink port configured on a private VLAN without authentication for connecting to slave APs. Ensure that
the downlink port configured in a private VLAN is not used for any wired client connection. Other downlink ports
can be used for connecting to the wired clients.
The following figure illustrates a hierarchical deployment scenario:
