Apologies for my error, just checked in lab, indeed the ap-env specific command does not exist in 8.6
Centaurus AP models do not support higher than 8.6.
Centaurus
AP-224,225
IAP 214,215
IAP-274,275
IAP-277
IAP-228
AOS/IAP 8.8 and 8.9 are Short term release, the recommendation if supported by the AP models is 8.10.0.6.
Looking at Centaurus with 8.6 or 8.7, let me correct my earlier post.
The original question is how to use the AP-225 eth1 to extend the L2 VLAN where the IAPs connect and connect other devices ?
If the device were another IAP in the same cluster, the user Guide refers to this as "hierarchical clustering".
With 8.7 or previous versions, the only method to do this is
with a wired-port-profile unique to eth1, trunking the required vlans, which yes, is applied to all IAPs in the cluster.
Ensure that the eth1 wired-port-profile disables the uplink:
no uplink-enable
The CLI config should end up something like this:
wired-port-profile wired-downlink-trust-trunk
switchport-mode trunk
allowed-vlan 1,140,141
native-vlan 1
trusted
no shutdown
spanning-tree
speed auto
duplex auto
captive-portal disable
no dot1x
no uplink-enable <------------- CRITICAL
storm-control-broadcast
storm-control-threshold XXXX
Hope this helps.

Subject: iAP225: Can enet1 port be used as downlink to another switch with more devices while enet0 is the uplink?
Hi Shawn,
according to the documentation, the eth1-mode command (https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/CLI-Bank/Content/instant/enet1-mode.htm) was introduced on in version 8.8.0.0 (and all I have is 8.6.0.6). Would not mind updating, but when I search for Centaurus software, I only get to see updates up to v8.6. Could it be that v8.8 is not available for the Centaurus (iAP-225) hardware? Or do I need to ask in teh Support Portal to have v8.8 software downloads enabled for my account?
Best,
Michael

The Aruba Instant CLI Reference guide covers the commands needed. Please ensure the documentation is referring to the IAP version in use.
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/Aruba-Instant-8.x-Books/Aruba-Instant-8.x-CLI-Guide.pdf
https://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/CLI-Bank/Content/landing-pages/instant-home.htm
As I recall, in the VC Web UI, if one selects a specific IAP, there is a page that offers the ethX configuration specific to that IAP.
In the ap-specific command (show ap -env)
enet1-mode {downlink | uplink}
The cluster-wide wired-port-profile on eth1 should set the desired config, staying aware this will apply to all IAPs if eth1 becomes active, which may create undesirable results if an IAP tries to use eth0 and eth1 as uplinks, while each port has a differing wired-port-profile.
Hope this helps.

Hi Zak,
sorry, took a while to get back about this. Have holidays now and now I can finally look into this again...
I had a look at the document you sent, but I fail to make sense of it. Even the first sentence in the steps of the description I don't understand:
| Click on the Wired link on the top right corner of the Instant |
When I'm logging into the web-UI of my master iAP-225, the top right corner of the window only shows four symbols: A magnifying glass, a bell, a circled question mark, and a user symbol. And the screenshots in the document look completely different from anything I can find in my web-UI. Could it be that this document is for a different scenario (like APs managed by a central controller)?
I currently run three Instant AP-225s in my network. At this moment, I only need a eth1-downlink on one of them. I would expect this to be a configuration that is specific to a single slave AP. In the web-UI I could not find anything under Configuration -> Access Points -> (select one AP in question from AP list) -> Edit...
I'm quite fluent on the console/CLI. Are threre CLI instructions somewhere to configure eth1 as a downlink (while eth0 is used as the uplink) on a single AP out of a total of three for version 8.6.0.6? I'd simply like to pass on all the VLANs available on the eth0 link. So, like bridging eth1 and eth0 (while keeping eth0 as uplink).
Best,
Michael

Great.
So, start with the TechDoc linked below. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi,
it is running without controller as iAP. The version is 8.6.0.6.
Best,
Michael

Is this AP running managed with a controller or running as an IAP? What software release?

Hi there,
I run an iAP225 in a flat, which works just fine. The conduit up to this flat is quite narrow, insufficient for a second network cable. Is there a way of using the enet1 port of the iAP225 instead for connecting more wired network devices? If that's possible, could someone outline how this can be configured? The link between enet0 and the main switch of the house runs a few VLANs that I would all need to have available on the enet1 link...
Best,
Michael
