Enforcing Uplinks
The following configuration conditions apply to the uplink enforcement:
l When an uplink is enforced, the IAP uses the specified uplink regardless of uplink preemption configuration and
the current uplink status.
l When an uplink is enforced and multiple Ethernet ports are configured and uplink is enabled on the wired profiles,
the IAP tries to find an alternate Ethernet link based on the priority configured.
l When no uplink is enforced and preemption is not enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the IAP tries to find an
available uplink based on the priority configured.
l When no uplink is enforced and preemption is enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the IAP tries to find an
available uplink based on the priority configured. If current uplink is active, the IAP periodically tries to use a
higher priority uplink and switches to the higher priority uplink even if the current uplink is active.
You can enforce a specific uplink on an IAP by using the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To enforce an uplink:
1. Click the System > show advanced settings > Uplink. The Uplink tab contents are displayed.
2. Under Uplink Management, select the type of uplink from the Enforce Uplink drop-down list. If Ethernet uplink
is selected, the Port field is displayed.
3. Specify the Ethernet interface port number.
