    Hi,

     

    Not sure if this the right topic starter over here.

    I need to make a mesh deployment between two aruba access points(Model : APIN0204) but did not yet do this before.What needs to happen is that the connections go over the 5Ghz band and data has to cross over the 2.4Ghz band.

    (Besides the access points the airwave management platform is also installed so i'm not sure if this needs to happen on the management platform or just on the ap's?)

     

    Can someone provide me a setup guide/way to get started into this?

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Are these Aruba Instant APs, or Controller-Based access points?

    If i understand correctly from the question, there is no aruba mobility controller or cloud services controller in the building and all of them are instant ap's.

    Thanks for the link.

     

    Can you also tell me if it would be possible to do this from the airwave management platform? All these ap's are hooked up to this for monitoring atm and the customer would like to put them in r/w mode over there.
