If an entry for the W-IAP is present in the firmware image cloud server and is provisioned as a W-IAP > Remote AP, the firmware image cloud server responds with mobility controller IP address, AP group, and AP type. The W-IAP then contacts the controller, establishes certificate-based secure communication, and obtains configuration and image from the controller. The W-IAP reboots and comes up as a Remote AP. The W-IAP then establishes an IPSEC connection with the controller and begins operating in the Remote AP mode. 345 | W-IAP Maintenance Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.4.3.1-4.2.0.0 | User Guide

W-IAP to ArubaOS Conversion
pag Converting a W-IAP to a Remote AP
For Remote AP conversion, the Virtual Controller sends the Remote AP convert command to all the other W-
IAPs. The Virtual Controller along with the other slave W-IAPs set up a VPN tunnel to the remote controller, and
download the firmware through FTP. The Virtual Controller uses IPsec to communicate to the mobility
controller over the Internet.
l
If the W-IAP obtains W-AirWave information through DHCP (Option 43 and Option 60), it establishes an
HTTPS connection to the W-AirWave server and downloads the configuration and operates in the W-IAP
mode.
l
If the W-IAP does not get W-AirWave information through DHCP provisioning, it tries provisioning through a
firmware image server in the cloud by sending a serial number MAC address. If an entry for the W-IAP is
present in the firmware image cloud server and is provisioned as a W-IAP > Remote AP, the firmware image
cloud server responds with mobility controller IP address, AP group, and AP type. The W-IAP then contacts
the controller, establishes certificate-based secure communication, and obtains configuration and image
from the controller. The W-IAP reboots and comes up as a Remote AP. The W-IAP then establishes an IPSEC
connection with the controller and begins operating in the Remote AP mode.
