Chapter 22 Uplink Configuration The Dell W-Instant network supports Ethernet and 3G/4G USB modems and the Wi-Fi uplink for the corporate Instant network. The 3G/4G USB modems and the Wi-Fi uplink can be used to extend the connectivity to places where an Ethernet uplink cannot be configured, allowing the client traffic to reach the Internet and the corporate network. It also provides a reliable backup link for the Ethernet based Instant network. Uplink Interface Configuration The following figure describes the W-IAP when the Ethernet connection is not configurable on a W-IAP network. The other W-IAPs also join the Virtual Controller as slave W-IAPs through a wired or mesh Wi-Fi uplink. Figure 140 - Uplink Types The following types of uplinks are supported on Instant: l Ethernet n PPPoE n DHCP n Static IP l 3G/4G LTE modem l Wi-Fi Ethernet Uplink The Ethernet 0 port on a W-IAP is enabled as an uplink port by default.
