About Instant
This chapter provides the following information:
l Instant Overview
l What is New in Instant 6.4.0.2-4.1
Instant Overview
Instant virtualizes Dell Networking W-Series Mobility Controller capabilities on 802.11 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 turn-key WLAN solution consisting of one or more APs. An Ethernet port with
routable connectivity to the Internet or a self-enclosed network is used for deploying an Instant Wireless Network. A
Dell Networking W-Series Instant Access Point (W-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 any on-site IT administrator.
Instant consists of a W-IAP and a Virtual Controller. The Virtual Controller resides within one of the APs. In a Instant
deployment scenario, only the first W-IAP needs to be configured. After the first W-IAP is configured, the other WIAPs inherit all the required configuration information from the Virtual Controller. Instant continually monitors the
network to determine the W-IAP that should function as the Virtual Controller at any time, and the Virtual Controller
will move from one W-IAP to another as necessary without impacting network performance.
Supported Devices
The following devices are supported in Instant 6.4.0.2-4.1:
l W-IAP103
l W-IAP104/ 105
l W-IAP114/115
l W-IAP134/135
l IAP-175P/175AC
l W-IAP3WN/3WNP
l W-IAP108/109
l W-IAP155/155P
l W-IAP224/225
l W-IAP274/275
As of Instant 4.1 release, it is recommended that networks with more than 128 APs should be designed as multiple,
smaller virtual-controller networks with Layer-3 mobility enabled between them.
