DATA SHEET
The multifunctional Aruba RAP-155 series delivers secure
802.11n wireless and wired networking to small/medium
businesses and access to corporate resources from branch
oces. It is ideal for ultra-high-density Wi-Fi environments
that require fast encrypted throughput.
With unmatched deployment exibility, the RAP-155 series
can operate in Aruba Instant™ mode controlled by the
AirWave™ management platform or in controller-managed
mode where all network services are centralized by Aruba
Mobility Controllers.
In Aruba Instant mode, trac is locally bridged but it still
provides the exibility of establishing secure IPsec VPN
tunnels back to Mobility Controllers.
The RAP-155 series oers a wide range of enterprise-class
features, including role-based network access, and policy-
based forwarding.
At locations that require greater coverage, the RAP-155 can
join an Aruba Instant WLAN cluster. Simply install additional
RAP-155s or any Aruba Instant AP and the entire cluster is
managed as one. If one Aruba Instant AP fails, another AP
automatically takes over with no disruption.
With a wireless data rate up to 450 Mbps, the dual-radio RAP-
155 has ve Ethernet ports (one uplink and four local) and a
USB port to connect to 3G and 4G networks. Optionally, the
RAP-155 can provide power over Ethernet (PoE) on its two
local ports for IP phones and other devices.
When operating in Aruba Instant mode, the cloud-based
Aruba Activate™ service dramatically reduces RAP
deployment time by performing zero-touch provisioning
and inventory management.
With Aruba Activate, RAPs are factory-shipped to
remote deployment sites and obtain their congurations
automatically when powered up.

ADVANCED FEATURES
• ClientMatch™ technology eliminates sticky clients by
continuously gathering session performance metrics and
utilizing this data to steer mobile devices to the best AP
and radio, even as users roam and RF conditions change.
• Adaptive Radio Management™ (ARM) technology
automatically assigns channel and power settings,
provides airtime fairness, auto-corrects Wi-Fi coverage
holes, and ensures that APs stay clear of RF interference.
• Zero-touch provisioning as well as inventory management
with the cloud-based Aruba Activate service.
• Security:
- With an OpenDNS service subscription, Aruba Instant
delivers integrated web ltering, malware and botnet
protection to every device connected to the WLAN
- Integrated Trusted Platform Module (TPM) for secure
storage of credentials and keys
- SecureJack-capable for secure tunneling of wired
Ethernet trac
- VPN conguration functionality enables the Instant
AP to create a single VPN tunnel to an Aruba Mobility
Controller in the data center. The Mobility Controller
acts solely as a VPN end-point and does not supply the
Instant AP with any conguration.
