An IAP can be converted to a Campus AP and Remote AP only if the controller is running ArubaOS 6.1.4 or
later.
The following table describes the supported IAP platforms and minimal AOS version for IAP to CAP/RAP
conversion.
Converting IAP to RAP
To convert an IAP to RAP, follow the instructions below:
1. Navigate to the Maintenance tab in the top right corner of the Instant UI.
2. Click the Convert tab.
3. Select Remote APs managed by a Controller from the drop-down list.
4. Enter the hostname (fully qualified domain name) or the IP address of the controller in the Hostname or
IP Address of Controller text box. This information is provided by your network administrator.
Ensure the Controller IP Address is reachable by the IAPs.
5. Click Convert Now to complete the conversion.
6. The IAP reboots and begins operating in RAP mode.
7. After conversion, the IAP is managed by the Dell controller which has been specified in the Instant UI.
In order for the RAP conversion to work, ensure that you configure the Instant AP in the RAP white-list and enable the
FTP service on the controller.
If the VPN setup fails and an error message pops up, please click OK, copy the error logs and share them with your
Dell support engineer.

Enabling Bandwidth Contract Support for RAPs
This release of ArubaOS provides Bandwidth Contract support on remote APs. This is achieved by extending
the Bandwidth Contract support on split-tunnel and bridge modes.
You can apply Bandwidth Contract for a RAP on a per-user or per-role basis. Bandwidth Contract is applied on a
per-role basis by default. This implies that all the users belonging to the same role will share the bandwidth
pool. When Bandwidth Contract configured on the controller is attached to a user-role, it automatically gets
pushed to the RAPs terminating on it.
