Chapter 22 Uplink Configuration Uplink Configuration Overview The Dell PowerConnect W-Instant supports 3G USB modems for the corporate Instant network. The 3G USB modems can be used to extend the connectivity to places where Ethernet uplink cannot be configured. By using this, the client traffic can reach the internet and the corporate network. It also provides a reliable backup link for the Ethernet based Instant network. The following figure describes the IAP when the Ethernet connection is not configurable on an IAP network. The other IAPs also join the Virtual Controller as slave IAPs via a wired uplink. Figure 152 Uplink Types The following types of uplinks are supported on Instant:  Ethernet  PPPoE  DHCP  Static IP  3G/4G LTE modem Ethernet Uplink The Ethernet 0 port on an IAP is enabled as an uplink port by default. NOTE: Instant does not support configuration of an Eth0 uplink. View the type of uplink and the status of the uplink in the Instant UI in the Info tab.
