Figure 94 Remote AP in a Multi-Controller Environment
Configuring the Secure Remote Access Point Service
The tasks for configuring a Dell Access Points as a Secure Remote Access Point Service are:
l Configure a public IP address for the controller.
You must install one or more AP licenses in the controller. There are several AP licenses available that
support different maximum numbers of APs. The licenses are cumulative; each additional license installed
increases the maximum number of APs supported by the controller.
l Configure the VPN server on the controller. The remote AP will be a VPN client to the server.
l Provision the AP with IPSec settings, including the username and password for the AP, before you install it
at the remote location. You can also provision the RAP using the zero touch provisioning method. For more
information, see Provisioning 4G USB Modems on Remote Access Points on page 760.
Configure a Public IP Address for the Controller
The remote AP requires an IP address to which it can connect to establish a VPN tunnel to the controller. This
can be either a routable IP address you configure on the controller, or the address of an external router or
firewall that forwards traffic to the controller. The following procedure describes how to create a DMZ address
on the controller.
