Supported APs
Aruba Central (on-premises) supports following types of Aruba access points (APs).
- Instant APs—The Instant Access Point (IAP) based WLANWireless 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 subnetSubnet is the logical division of an IP network.. The IAPs serve a dual role as both Virtual Controller (VC) and member APs. The IAP WLAN solution does not require a 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 (LANLocal 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, WANWide Area Network. WAN is a telecommunications network or computer network that extends over a large geographical distance., or MPLSMultiprotocol Label Switching. The MPLS protocol speeds up and shapes network traffic flows. ) and terminate directly on controllers. CAPs 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 and monitoring the CAPs.

- IAP-214, IAP-215, IAP-224, IAP-225, IAP-228, IAP-274, IAP-275, and IAP-277 IAPs are no longer supported from Aruba Instant 8.7.0.0 onwards.
- IAP-103, IAP-114, IAP-115, IAP-204, IAP-205, and IAP-205H IAPs are no longer supported from Aruba Instant 8.3.0.0 onwards.
- By default, AP-318, AP-374, AP-375, and AP-377 IAPs have Eth1 as the uplink port and Eth0 as the downlink port. Aruba does not recommend you to upgrade these IAPs to Aruba Instant 8.5.0.0 or 8.5.0.1 firmware versions, as the upgrade process changes the uplink port from Eth1 to Eth0 port thereby making the devices unreachable.
