Controllerless Networks

Hi all

i want to working in  mode that the traffic not go to the controller

my net build with MM-VA and MD the AP connected to the MD

and its fine but i want to create ssid that working even if the controller ununreachable .

i config ssid in bridge mode and then connected to the ssid when i disconected the MD the radio AP becom orange and my connection go down...

from what i now the bridge  can work without the controller when the client already connected..

do i miss somthing ?

the version of the controller 8.3

Thanks

This only works for access points provisioned as APs https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_83_Web_Help/Web_Help_Index.htm#ArubaFrameStyles/Remote_AP/Advanced_Configuration_O1.htm#remote_ap_1516596501_1115380

Thanks  cjoseph .

so in bridge mode the traffic not passing to the controller only authentication ?

but if the controller is unreachable the wlan will not working correct ?

the only way for the wlan to work is to working RAP ? 

another question :

can i provision IAP automatically to the controller without the converting setup if yes can you guide me how to.. ?

Thanks 

Bridge mode works the same with Campus APs or Remote APs.  The difference is that a remote AP expects to be at a remote location and it has options for survivability if the connection to the controller is distrupted.  A Campus AP does not have the same survivability options.

IAPs can be converted automatically, but using Aruba Activate with a convert IAP to Remote AP rule:  https://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Software-User-Reference-Guides/Aruba-Activate-User-Guide/ta-p/291600
