Hardware Description
W-AP210 Series The Dell W-AP210 Series (W-AP214 and W-AP215) wireless access points
support the IEEE 802.11ac standard for high-performance WLAN. These
access points use MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output) technology and
other high-throughput mode techniques to deliver high-performance,
802.11ac 2.4 GHz and 802.11ac 5 GHz functionality while simultaneously
supporting existing 802.11a/b/g wireless services. The W-AP210 Series
access points work only in conjunction with a Dell controller. The Dell W-
AP210 Series access point provides the following capabilities:
l Wireless transceiver
l Protocol-independent networking functionality
l IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless access point
l IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac operation as a wireless air monitor
l Compatibility with IEEE 802.3at PoE+ and 802.3af PoE
l Centralized management configuration and upgrades through a
controller
For more information, see the Dell Networking W-AP210 Series Wireless
Access Point Installation Guide.

AP Fast Failover support for
Bridge-mode Virtual AP
High Availability (HA) support for bridge mode in Campus AP is
introduced in this release. In previous versions of ArubaOS the fast
failover feature for Campus AP was supported using tunnel or decrypt
mode. Now support has been extended to bridge mode as well.
Authentication Profile based
User Idle Timeout
The user-idle-timeout parameter under AAA profile accepts a value of
0. Entering a value of 0, L3 user state is removed immediately upon
disassociation. In other words, the controller deletes the user
immediately after disassociation or disconnection from the wireless
network. If RADIUS accounting is configured, the controller sends an
accounting STOP message to the RADIUS server.
NOTE: User idle timeout of 0 should not be configured for wired, split-
tunnel, VIA, and VPN users. It is applicable only for wireless users in tunnel
and decrypt-tunnel forwarding modes.
