Ap410i units homelab ?

Hi guys,

Looking for some advice,

I have access to some ap410 units (decoms at work), so was wondering if there's a vm controller i can use to connect/manage them which is free/community edition ?

So I can use/ learn extreme at home without breaking the bank ?

Thanks for any info.

Hi, let me know if you found a way. I got AP410i for my homelab. As these AP's can be configured to be standalone virtual controller, I was manage to spin up and connect to home network. The problem is I'm not much of network guy to understand deep networking knowledge to configure the rest and use it.

I created 2 wlan's the SSID shows, however I'm missing something as the DHCP doesn't provide IP to clients. Interested in helping each other out and learning more?

Since WiNG is EoS, You can download VE6120 Small Version of a XIQ-Controller .ova, then generate a trial license, which is valid for 6 months, and play it with 410i. And if You mean AP410C, then the free cloud option is also possible.

On the support portal in the Downloads tab. You should get familiar with this page: https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrSupportHome

Direct link to .ova https://extreme-networks.my.site.com/ExtrDownloadDetail?id=a412T000000cm4RQAQ , then You need to apply latest upgrade - .dle file

No, I flashed my AP410i with WiNG 7.7 as it is the maximum that's supported by AP410i. After that, you can download Wing-Man for Windows and access the AP410i via Wing-Man.
