Wi-Fi Uplink
The Wi-Fi uplink is supported on all the W-IAP models, except for the 802.11ac AP models (IAP-2xx Series
access points). However only the master W-IAP uses this uplink. The Wi-Fi allows uplink to open, PSK-CCMP,
and PSK-TKIP SSIDs.
l For single radio W-IAPs, the radio serves wireless clients and the Wi-Fi uplink.
l For dual radio W-IAPs, both radios can be used to serve clients but only one of them can be used for the Wi-
Fi uplink.
When the Wi-Fi uplink is in use, the client IP is assigned by the internal DHCP server.
Configuring a Wi-Fi Uplink Profile
The following configuration conditions apply to the Wi-Fi uplink:
l To bind or unbind the Wi-Fi uplink on the 5 GHz band, reboot the W-IAP.
l If the Wi-Fi uplink is used on the 5 GHz band, mesh is disabled. The two links are mutually exclusive.
l For W-IAPs to connect to an ArubaOS based WLAN using Wi-Fi uplink, the controller must run ArubaOS
6.2.1.0 or later.
To provision a with the Wi-Fi Uplink, complete the following steps:
1. If you are configuring a Wi-Fi uplink after restoring factory settings on a W-IAP, connect the W-IAP to an
Ethernet cable to allow the W-IAP to get the IP address. Otherwise, go to step 2.
2. Click the System link at the top right corner of the Instant main window. The System window is displayed.
3. Click the Show advanced options link. The advanced options are displayed.
4. Click the Uplink tab.
5. Under Wi-Fi, enter the name of the wireless network that is used for the Wi-Fi uplink in the Name (SSID)
text box.
6. Select the type of key for uplink encryption and authentication from the Key management drop-down
list. If the uplink wireless router uses mixed encryption, WPA-2 is recommended for the Wi-Fi uplink.
7. From the band drop-down list. Select the band in which the Virtual Controller currently operates. The
following options are available:
