Configuring Single and Dual-Radio APs via a Single IOS Template
To configure single and dual-radio APs using the same IOS config template, you can use the interface variable
within the %IF…% construct. The below example illustrates this usage:
%IF interface=Dot11Radio1%
interface Dot11Radio1
bridge-group 1
bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control
no bridge-group 1 source-learning
no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
no ip address
no ip route-cache
rts threshold 2312
speed basic-6.0 basic-9.0 basic-12.0 basic-18.0 basic-24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0
ssid decibel-ios-a
authentication open
guest-mode
station-role root
%ENDIF%
Configuring Cisco Catalyst Switch Templates
Cisco Catalyst Switch templates are configured much like Cisco IOS templates with the addition of the
interfaces and switch_command (for stacked switches) variables. Interfaces can be configured on the Device
Interface pages, as shown in "Configuring Device Interfaces for Switches" on page 173. You can import interface
information as described in this section or by fetching a template from that device, as described in "Configuring
General Templates" on page 184.
Just one template is used for any type of Cisco IOS device, and another is used for any type of Catalyst Switch
regardless of individual model.
Configuring Symbol Controller / HPE WESM Templates
This section describes the configuration of templates for Symbol controllers and HPE WESM devices.
Symbol Controllers (RFS x000, 5100 and 2000) can be configured in W-AirWave using templates. W-AirWave
supports Symbol thin AP firmware upgrades from the controller’s manage page.
A sample running-configuration file template is provided in this topic for reference. A template can be fetched
from a model device using the Cisco IOS device procedure described in "Configuring Cisco IOS Templates" on
page 191. Cisco IOS template directives such as ignore_and_do_not_push can also be applied to Symbol
templates.
Certain parameters such as hostname and location are turned into variables with the % tags so that device-
specific values can be read from the individual manage pages and inserted into the template. They are listed in
Available Variable boxes on the right-hand side of the template fields.
Certain settings have integrated variables, including alp-license and adoption-preference-id. The radio
preamble has been template-integrated as well. An option on the Group > Templates page reboots the device
after pushing a configuration to it.
A sample Symbol controller partial template is included below for reference.
