    Hello! At the moment for some small offsides we use a RAP to make a tunnel back to our controller then run a switch off it to get more wired connections. Does switch a thing as a RAP switch exist? An aruba switch which can tunnel back to a controller like a RAP just without the access point?

    Probably need to make use of the ArubaOS-swith per port tunnel node or per user tunnel node.

    If you search through this forum for per port tunnel node. I'm sure you'll find something

    Thanks that really helpful, this is exactly what I was looking for but would it be suitable to run over the Internet? I can see it’s a GRE tunnel so can I use IPSec like a RAP to secure the traffic?

    Thanks
