Instant Overview
Instant virtualizes Aruba Mobility Controller capabilities on 802.1--capable access points (APs), creating a
feature-rich enterprise-grade wireless LAN (WLAN) that combines affordability and configuration simplicity.
Instant is a simple, easy to deploy turnkey WLAN solution consisting of one or more IAPs. An Ethernet port
with routable connectivity to the Internet or a self-enclosed network is used for deploying an Instant Wireless
Network. An Instant Access Point (IAP) can be installed at a single site or deployed across multiple
geographically dispersed locations. Designed specifically for easy deployment and proactive management of
networks, Instant is ideal for small customers or remote locations without requiring any on-site IT
administrator.
Instant consists of an IAP and a Virtual Controller (VC). The VC resides within one of the IAPs. In an Instant
deployment scenario, only the first IAP needs to be configured. After the first IAP is configured, the other IAPs
inherit all the required configuration information from the VC. Instant continually monitors the network to
determine the IAP that should function as a VC at any time, and the VC will move from one IAP to another as
necessary without impacting network performance.
