Uplink interfaces

Cloud Network Manager supports Wi-Fi uplink to provide access to the corporate network.

The following figure illustrates a scenario in which the APs join the VC as slave APs through a wired or mesh Wi-Fi uplink.

Figure 6: Uplink types

Cloud Network Manager supports the following types of uplinks:

Wi-Fi uplink

Ethernet uplink

Wi-Fi uplink

The Wi-Fi uplink is supported for all AP models, but only the master AP uses this uplink. The Wi-Fi allows uplink to open, PSK-CCMP, and PSK-TKIP SSIDs.

For single radio APs, the radio serves wireless clients and Wi-Fi uplink.

For dual radio APs, both radios can be used to serve clients but only one of them can be used for Wi-Fi uplink.

When Wi-Fi uplink is in use, the client IP is assigned by the internal DHCP server.

Configuring a Wi-Fi uplink profile

The following configuration conditions apply to the Wi-Fi uplink:

To bind or unbind the Wi-Fi uplink on the 5 GHz band, reboot the AP.

If Wi-Fi uplink is used on the 5 GHz band, mesh is disabled. The two links are mutually exclusive. To provision an AP with Wi-Fi Uplink, complete the following steps:
