Enabling Static LACP Configuration When W-IAPs connect to switches which have the LACP capability, the LACP feature does not work as expected. To enable a static LACP configuration, new commands are introduced. W-IAPs support the dynamic LACP configuration according to a peer switch. When the peer switch enables LACP configuration, the W-IAPs form the LACP. Users can enable, disable, and remove the static LACP configuration in the W-IAP. When the W-IAP boots up, it forms the LACP according to the static configuration. The static LACP mode is supported on W-IAP225, W-IAP275,and W-IAP325 access points. To enable the static LACP mode on W-IAPs: (Instant AP)# lacp-mode enable To disable the static LACP mode on W-IAPs: (Instant AP)# lacp-mode disable Verifying Static LACP Mode To verify the static LACP configuration, execute the following command in the W-IAP CLI: (Instant AP)# show ap-env Antenna Type:Internal name:TechPubsAP per_ap_ssid:1234 per_ap_vlan:abc lacp_mode:enable Understanding Hierarchical Deployment A W-IAP with more than one wired port) can be connected to the downlink wired port of another W-IAP (Ethernet X). A W-IAP with a single Ethernet port (like W-IAP90 or W-IAP100 Series access points) can be provisioned to use Ethernet bridging, so that Ethernet 0 port is converted to a downlink wired port. You can also form a W-IAP network by connecting the downlink port of a W-IAP to other W-IAPs. Only one WIAP in the network uses its downlink port to connect to the other W-IAPs. This W-IAP (called the root W-IAP) acts as the wired device for the network, provides DHCP service and an L3 connection to the ISP uplink with NAT. The root W-IAP is always the master of the Instant network. In a single Ethernet port platform deployment, the root W-IAP must be configured to use the 3G uplink. A typical hierarchical deployment consists of the following: l A direct wired ISP connection or a wireless uplink. l One or more DHCP pools for private VLANs. l One downlink port configured on a private VLAN without authentication for connecting to slave W-IAPs. Ensure that the downlink port configured in a private VLAN is not used for any wired client connection. Other downlink ports can be used for connecting to the wired clients. The following figure illustrates a hierarchical deployment scenario: 111 | Wired Profiles Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide
