Defining the VPN host settings
The VPN endpoint on which a master W-IAP terminates its VPN tunnel is considered as the host. A master AP in
a W-IAP network can be configured with a primary and backup host to provide VPN redundancy. You can
define VPN host settings through More>VPN>Controller in the UI.
You can configure the following VPNprofiles for the IAP-VPNoperations. For more information, see
Configuring a Tunnel from a W-IAP to Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controller on page 226.

l Aruba GRE
l Manual GRE
Configuring Routing Profiles
The routing profile on the W-IAP determines whether the traffic destined to a subnet must be tunneled
through IPSec or bridged locally. If the routing profile is empty, the client traffic will always be bridged locally.
For example, if the routing profile is configured to tunnel 10.0.0.0 /8, traffic destined to 10.0.0.0 /8 will be
forwarded through the IPsec tunnel and the traffic to all other destinations is bridged locally.
You can also configure a routing profile with 0.0.0.0 as gateway to allow both client and IAP traffic to be routed
through a non-tunnel route. If the gateway is in the same subnet as uplink IP address, it is used as a static
gateway entry. A static route can be added on all master and slave W-IAPs for these destinations. The VPN
traffic from the local subnet of W-IAP or the virtual controller IP address in the local subnet is not routed to
tunnel, but will be switched to the relevant VLAN. For example, when a 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 routing profile is
defined, to bypass certain IPs, you can add a route to the IP by defining 0.0.0.0 as the destination, thereby
forcing the traffic to be routed through the default gateway of the W-IAP.
You can configure routing profiles through More>VPN>Controller UI. For step-by-step procedural
information on configuring routing profile, see Configuring Routing Profiles on page 237.
The W-IAP network has only one active tunnel even when fast failover enabled. At any given time, traffic can
be tunneled only to one VPN host.
Configuring DHCP Profiles
You can create DHCP profiles to determine the IAP-VPN mode of operation. A W-IAP network can have multiple
DHCP profiles configured for different modes of IAP-VPN. You can configure up to eight DHCP profiles. For
more information on the IAP-VPN modes of operation, see IAP-VPN Forwarding Modes on page 240.
You can create any of the following types of DHCP profiles for the IAP-VPN operations:
l Local
l Local, L2
l Local, L3
l Distributed,L2
l Distributed,L3
l Centralized
For more information on configuring DHCP profiles, see Configuring DHCP Scopes on page 215.
A centralized L2 or distributed L2 VLAN or subnet cannot be used to serve APs in a hierarchical mode of
deployment. Ensure that the physical IP of the APs connecting to the master AP in hierarchical mode of
