The VC, along with the slave W-IAPs, 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. 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, 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 the Activate server in the cloud by sending a serial number MAC address. If an entry for the W-IAP is present in Activate and is provisioned as a W-IAP > Remote AP, Activate responds with mobility controller IP address, W-IAP group, and W-IAP 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. l If a W-IAP entry is present in Activate and a provisioning rule is configured to return the IP address or host name of the W-AirWave server, the W-IAP downloads configuration from W-AirWave and operates in the WIAP mode. l If there is no response from Activate, the access point comes up with default configuration and operates in the W-IAP mode. A mesh point cannot be converted to Remote AP, because mesh access points do not support VPN connection. Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide W-IAP Maintenance | 355
