Uplink Monitoring and Management
The ArubaOS Uplink Manager prioritizes cellular and wired uplinks, and monitors the availability and quality of
the connection to a remote host with specified FQDN or IPaddress. The status of these monitored uplinks
appears on the WANsection of the controller dashboard.
By default, the cellular uplink is a lower priority than the wired uplink; making the wired link the primary link
and the cellular link the secondary or backup link.
The uplink manager is enabled by default on branch controller uplinks. Use the procedures below to manually
enable and configure this feature on a master or local (non-branch) controller.
For details on configuring the uplink management settings on a branch controller see WAN Configuration on page
