Controller-based mode: When deployed in conjunction with an Aruba Mobility Controller, Aruba APs offer centralized
configuration, data encryption, policy enforcement and network services, as well as distributed and centralized traffic forwarding.
Controller-less (Instant) mode: The controller function is virtualized in a cluster of APs in Instant mode. As the network
grows and/or requirements change, Instant deployments can easily migrate to controller-based mode.
