    Posted Aug 05, 2021 08:36 AM
    Hi 

    i have 5 AP-314 CAP i would like to convert them to IAP 

    i tried to do it from the controller by running #ap redeploy controller-less but it give me error message say this command is not available for this model 

    base on the below document , AP-314 is not UAP which is not supported by this command  
    https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/CLI-Bank/Content/aos8/ap-rdply-cntrles.htmap redeploy controller-less


    so can i know how i can convert AP-314 from CAP to IAP

    This command only works with UAPs and as per the doc:

    The ap redeploy controller-less command works only for UAPs and is applicable to AP-203HAP-203RAP-203RPAP-303AP-303H303P SeriesAP-318AP-344AP-345AP-365AP-367AP-374AP-375AP-377AP-387AP-534, and AP-535 access points only.

    If you are running ArubaOS 8.6 and above, you can still convert APs to IAPs with a few caveats.
