l If the IAP obtains AirWave information through DHCP (Option 43 and Option 60), it establishes an HTTPS
connection to the AirWave server and downloads the configuration and operates in the IAP mode.
l If the IAP does not get AirWave information through DHCP provisioning, it tries provisioning through a firmware
image server in the cloud by sending a serial number MAC address. If an entry for the IAP is present in the
firmware image cloud server and is provisioned as an IAP > Remote AP, the firmware image cloud server
responds with mobility controller IP address, AP group, and AP 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 for the AP is present in the firmware image cloud server, the IAP obtains AirWave server
information from the cloud server and downloads configuration from AirWave to operate in the IAP mode.
l If there is no response from the cloud server or AirGroup is received, the IAP comes up in Instant mode.
l For more information on firmware image cloud server, see Upgrading an IAP on page 321.
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.
The following table describes the supported IAP platforms and minimal ArubaOS version required for the Campus
AP or Remote AP conversion.
