What is New in this Release on page 15 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.

When a VPN is configured, the IAP acting as the VC creates a VPN tunnel to an Aruba Mobility Controller in your corporate office. The controller acts as a VPN endpoint and does not supply the IAP with any configuration.
Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) is a tunnel protocol for encapsulating multicast, broadcast, and L2 packets between a GRE-capable device and an endpoint. IAPs support the configuration of L2 GRE (Ethernet over GRE) tunnel with an Aruba controller to encapsulate the packets sent and received by the IAP.

Either the controller or an upstream router can be the gateway for the clients. For DHCP services in Centralized, L2 mode, Aruba recommends using an external DHCP server and not the DHCP server on the controller.
