optionally, a secondary master IP (for deployments requiring Layer-3 redundancy). This VSI must be in one
of the following formats, where the IP address of a master controller is in dotted-decimal notation (a.b.c.d)
format or a fully qualified domain name format (master.example.com), and the country code contains a

Using Smart Config to create a Branch Config Group
Before you begin to configure a branch config group for individual branch controllers, you must select a master
controller to serve as the master for a group of branch controllers on a network. A controller can act either as a
master or a branch controller, but not both.
Any change to an active branch controller’s DHCP pool configuration causes the branch controller to reboot.
Only W-7200 Series controllers can server as a master controller for a group of branch controllers on a network.
Create and configure a branch config group on a master controller by navigating to the Configuration >
BRANCH > Smart Config section of the master controller WebUI. The Smart Config page contains eight tabs
for configuring the branch config group settings.
The BRANCH >Smart Config section of the master controller WebUI is available on the W-7200 Series controllers
only.
The configuration parameter on each of these tabs are described in the following pages:
l Config Group Management Settings on page 225
l System Configuration on page 231
l Networking Configuration on page 233
l Routing Configuration on page 235
l VPN Configuration on page 241
l WAN Configuration on page 245

Config Group Management Settings
Use this tab to create a new branch config group, select the model of branch controller to which this config
group will be applied, and choose either the Static or Dynamic IP address management option for your
deployment.
Address Pools
Each branch controller must have a pool of addresses it can dynamically assign to APs or users on each of its
VLANs, and a separate IP address that branch controller uses to create a GRE tunnel to the master controller.
Branch controller VLAN pools and the tunnel pool are defined on the master controller. Branch controller
