    Posted Jul 19, 2022 06:53 AM
    Hi All,

    Apologies if this has been done to death in the past but I have been asked if it is possible to convert Campus AP to an IAP on 325 Access Points. The 325 here originally Campus and not the 'Unified' type as far as I know.

    I have found this which makes me assume that it is now possible.

    Converting APs to Instant APs (arubanetworks.com)

    I'm unable to access the VMC they are on at present to gain any software info but should have access granted soon hopefully. Has anyone had any experiance of trying this.
    TIA

    Mileage may vary. The early series AP325 will not be able to run Instant firmware due to memory constraints. The command was introduced to support AOS10 on older APs, and should only be used for that purpose. You will end up with an unsupported situation, which may be acceptable in lab, but probably not in production.
