FlexConnect Faster Time to Deploy
The existing system requires an AP reboot when converted from Local mode to FlexConnect mode. Once
the AP boots up, it joins back the controller and subsequently all the FlexConnect configuration is
pushed down to the AP. This process increases the total time to deploy a FlexConnect solution in a
branch. Time to deployment is a critical differentiator for any branch deployment.
This feature in release 8.0 eliminates the need to reboot when the AP is converted to FlexConnect mode.
When the controller sends the AP a mode change message, the AP will get converted to FlexConnect
mode without requiring a reload. The AP sub mode will also be configured if the AP receives the AP sub
mode payload information from the controller. With this approach, the AP entry will be maintained at
the controller and there will not be any AP disassociation.
Only Local mode to Flexconnect mode conversion is supported, any other mode change will cause an
AP reboot. Similarly, changing of the AP sub mode to WIPS does not need reboot, but the rest of the sub
mode configuration requires AP reboot.
