Converting an IAP to RAP or CAP

For IAP to RAP or CAP conversion, the Virtual Controller sends the convert command to all the other IAPs. The Virtual Controller along with the other slave IAPs then setup a VPN tunnel to the remote controller, and download the firmware by FTP. The Virtual Controller uses IPsec to communicate to the controller over the internet.

NOTE: A mesh point cannot be converted to RAP because mesh does not support VPN connection.

An IAP can be converted to a Campus AP and Remote AP only if the controller is running ArubaOS 6.1.4 or later.

The following table describes the supported IAP platforms and minimal AOS version for IAP to CAP/RAP conversion.

5.Click Convert Now to complete the conversion.

6.The IAP reboots and begins operating in RAP mode.

7.After conversion, the IAP is managed by the Dell controller which has been specified in the Instant UI.

NOTE: In order for the RAP conversion to work, ensure that you configure the Instant AP in the RAP white-list and enable the FTP service on the controller.

NOTE: If the VPN setup fails and an error message pops up, please click OK, copy the error logs and share them with your Dell support engineer.
