Enforcing Uplinks
The following configuration conditions apply to the uplink enforcement:
l When an uplink is enforced, the OAW-IAP uses the specified uplink regardless of uplink preemption configuration
and the current uplink status.
l When an uplink is enforced and multiple Ethernet ports are configured and uplink is enabled on the wired profiles,
the OAW-IAP tries to find an alternate Ethernet link based on the priority configured.
l When no uplink is enforced and preemption is not enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the OAW-IAP tries to
find an available uplink based on the priority configured.
l When no uplink is enforced and preemption is enabled, and if the current uplink fails, the OAW-IAP tries to find an
available uplink based on in the priority configured. If current uplink is active, the OAW-IAP periodically tries to
use a higher priority uplink and switches to the higher priority uplink even if the current uplink is active.
You can enforce a specific uplink on an OAW-IAP by using the AOS-W Instant UI or CLI.

To enforce an uplink:
1. Click the System > show advanced settings > Uplink. The Uplink tab contents are displayed.

4. Click OK. The selected uplink is enforced on the OAW-IAP.
