Figure 17 AP Groups
While you can use an AP group to apply a feature to a set of APs, you can also configure a feature or option for a
specific AP by referencing the AP’s name. Any options or values that you configure for a specific AP will override
the same options or values configured for the AP group to which the AP belongs.
The following procedures describes how to create an AP group and, because all discovered APs initially belong to
the AP group named “default”, how to reassign an AP to your newly-created AP group.
Creating an AP group in the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless> AP Configuration > AP Group page.
2. Click New. Enter the new AP group name and click Add. The new AP group name appears in the Profile list.
Assigning APs to an AP group in the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless> AP Installation page. The list of discovered APs appears in this
page (all discovered APs initially belong to the AP group named “default”).
2. Select the AP you want to reassign, and click Provision. From the Provisioning page, select the AP group from
the drop-down menu.
3. Click Apply and Reboot.
Creating an AP group in the CLI
Use the following command to create an AP group:
ap-group <group>
When you create an AP group with the CLI, you can specify the virtual AP definitions and configuration profiles
you want applied to the APs in the group.
Assigning an AP to an AP group in the CLI
Use the following command to assign a single AP to an existing AP group. Use the WebUI to assign multiple APs
to an AP group at the same time.
ap-regroup {ap-name <name>|serial-num <number>|wired-mac <macaddr>} <group>
“DEFAULT” AP GROUP “TORONTO” AP GROUP“VICTORIA” AP GROUP
NOTE: An AP can belong to only one AP
group at a time.
Note: Reassigning an AP from an AP group requires a reboot of the AP for the new group assignment to take effect. Therefore, if
you need to do this, there should be little or no client traffic passing through the AP.
