Supported APs
Aruba Central On-Premises supports the following types of Aruba access points (APs).
- Instant APs—The Instant Access Point (IAP) based WLAN Wireless Local Area Network. WLAN is a 802.11 standards-based LAN that the users access through a wireless connection. solution consists of a cluster of access points in a Layer 2 subnet. The IAPs serve a dual role as both Virtual Controller (VC) and member APs. The IAP WLAN solution does not require dedicated controller hardware and can be deployed through a simplified setup process appropriate for smaller organizations, or for multiple geographically dispersed locations without an on-site administrator. IAPs run on the Aruba Instant. Aruba Central On-Premises supports both monitoring and management of IAPs. With Aruba Central On-Premises, network administrators can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot IAP WLANs, upload new software images, monitor devices, generate reports, and perform other vital management tasks from remote locations.
- Campus APs—The Campus Access Point (CAP)s are used in private networks where APs connect over private links (LAN Local Area Network. A LAN is a network of connected devices within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment and share a common communications line or wireless link to a server. , WLAN, WAN Wide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance. , or MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching. The MPLS protocol speeds up and shapes network traffic flows. ) and terminate directly on controllers. Campus APs are deployed as part of the indoor campus solution in enterprise office buildings, warehouses, hospitals, universities, and so on. Aruba Central On-Premises supports only onboarding The process of preparing a device for use on an enterprise network, by creating the appropriate access credentials and setting up the network connection parameters. and monitoring the Campus APs.
- Remote APs—The Remote Access Point (RAP)s allow AP users at remote locations to connect to an Aruba controller over the Internet. Since the Internet is involved, data traffic between the controller and the remote AP is VPN Virtual Private Network. VPN enables secure access to a corporate network when located remotely. It enables a computer to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if it were directly connected to the private network, while benefiting from the functionality, security, and management policies of the private network. This is done by establishing a virtual point-to-point connection through the use of dedicated connections, encryption, or a combination of the two. encapsulated. That is the traffic between the controller and AP is encrypted. Remote AP Remote APs extend corporate network to the users working from home or at temporary work sites. Remote APs are deplyed at branch office sites and are connected to the central network on a WAN link. operations are supported on all of Aruba APs.
