An Overview of Cisco WLC Configuration
The Groups > Cisco WLC Config page consolidates the settings for Cisco WLC devices from all group pages.
The Groups > SSIDs subtab applies to all device types except for Cisco WLC, which have WLANs configured
on the Cisco WLC Config page. It is not recommended to have HP Procurve 420s, Symbol 4131 and Proxim APs
in the same group as Cisco devices. Also, it is recommended that users set device preferences to “Only devices in
this group.” This topic describes how to access and navigate the Groups > Cisco WLC Config page.
Accessing Cisco WLC Configuration
Navigate to the Cisco WLC Config page in one of these two ways:
1. Navigate to the Gr
oups > List page and select a group that has been defined to support Cisco devices. Click
the group name, or the Manage (wrench) icon, and the Cisco WLC Config option appears in the navigation
pane at the top.
2. Navigate to the Gr
oups > List page and create a new group to support Cisco devices with these steps:
 Click Add from the Groups > List page to create a new group, enter a group name, and click Add.
 Once AWMS prompts you with the Groups > Basic page, ensure that you enable device specific settings
for Cisco WLC.
 Once you click Save or Save and Apply, then the Groups > Cisco WLC Config sub-menu appears in the
navigation pane at the top in association with that group.
Navigating Cisco WLC Configuration
The navigation pane on the left side of the Groups > Cisco WLC Config page is expandable, and displays the
Cisco configurations supported and deployed. Figure 49 and Figure 50 illustrate this navigation pane.
