Disabling Access to the AP Console
Another way to protect your AP system is to completely disable access to the AP console under enabled mode.
In the WebUI
To disable access to the console in the WebUI:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Advanced Services > All Profiles.
2. Expand the AP tab, then click on AP System.
3. Under the AP System list, select the AP system you want to modify.
4. Click on the Advanced tab, then scroll down to Console Enable.
5. Clear the Console Enable check box.
6. Click Apply, then Save Configuration to save your changes.
In the CLI
To disable access to the console in the CLI:
(host) (config) #ap system profile default
(host) (AP system profile “default”) #no console-enable
Link Aggregation Support on W-AP220 Series and W-AP270 Series
W-AP220 Series and W-AP270 Series access points support link aggregation using either standard port-channel
(configuration based) or Link Aggregation Control Protocol (protocol signaling based). These access points can
optionally be deployed with LACP configuration to benefit from the higher (greater than 1 Gbps) aggregate
throughput capabilities of the two radios.
The controller uses two different IP addresses for different GRE tunnels between the AP and the controller.
One IP address is used for tunnels to virtual APs using a 5G radio, while a second controllerIP address is used
for tunnels corresponding to virtual APs using a 2.4G radio. The IP addresses should be selected to ensure a
different physical interface is used by the load-balancing algorithm on the Ethernet switch. This will allow the
W-AP225 and W-AP270 Seriesto achieve greater than 1Gbps throughput in both upstream and downstream
directions.
ArubaOS 6.4.2.0 introduces a local AP LACP LMSmap information profile that maps a LMS IPaddress to a GRE
striping IP address. If the AP fails over to a standby or backup controller, the AP LACP LMSmap information
profile on the new controller defines the IP address that AP uses to terminate 802.11g radio tunnels on the
new controller. This feature allows W-AP220 Series or W-AP270 Series access points to form a 802.11g radio
tunnel to a backup controller the event of a controller failover, even if the backup controller is in a different L3
network.
In previous releases, the GRE striping IP address was defined in the global AP system profile, which did not
allow APs to maintain GRE striping tunnels if the AP failed over to a backup controller in a different L3 network.
If your topology includes a backup controller you must define GRE striping IP settings in the active and the backup
controller. For more information on LACP features in ArubaOS, see Configuring LACP on page 226.
Configuring LACP
To enable and configure LACP on W-AP220 Series and W-AP270 Series access points, configure the LMS IP
address and the GRE Striping IP address. In ArubaOS 6.4.2 and later, the GRE striping parameter is configured
in the AP LACP Striping profile. In ArubaOS 6.3.1.0 to 6.4.1.x, GRE striping is configured in the AP System
profile. The GRE Striping IP value must be an IPv4 address owned by the controller that has the specified
