31.3
Converting an AP to a Remote AP and Campus AP
Regulatory Domain Restrictions for AP to RAP or CAP Conversion
You can provision an AP as a Campus AP or a Remote AP in a controller-based network.
Before converting an AP, ensure that there is a regulatory domain match between the AP
and the controller.
The following table describes the regulatory domain restrictions that apply for the AP-to-
ArubaOS AP conversion:
AP Variant
SCALANCE W1750D
Converting an AP to a Remote AP
For converting an AP to a Remote AP, the VC sends the Remote AP convert command to all
the other APs. The VC, along with the slave APs, sets a VPN tunnel to the remote controller,
and downloads the firmware through FTP. The VC uses IPsec to communicate to the
Mobility Controller over the Internet.
● If the AP obtains AirWave information through DHCP (Option 43 and Option 60), it
establishes an HTTPS connection to the AirWave server, downloads the configuration,
and operates in the AP mode.
Note
A mesh point cannot be converted to Remote AP, because mesh access points do not
support VPN connection.
An AP can be converted to a Campus AP and Remote AP only if the controller is running
ArubaOS 6.1.4 or later versions:
The following table describes the supported AP platforms and minimal ArubaOS version
required for the Campus AP or Remote AP conversion.
