Working with controlled APs
Configuring APs
Inheritance
Configuration settings are inherited as follows:
Settings made at the Controlled APs level are inherited by all groups.
Settings made at the Group level are inherited by all the APs in a group.
To change inherited configuration settings you must first clear the Inherited checkbox. For
example, the following image shows the 802.1X page with the Inherited checkbox cleared,
allowing all settings on this page to be customized.
Binding VSCs to groups
The service controller defines a global pool of VSCs (Working with VSCs on page 2-1) that
represents the services that are available. From this pool, specific VSCs can be bound to one
or more groups (and the APs in the groups), to define the features that will be offered
throughout the wireless network.
Any changes to a bound VSC affect all groups (and APs) to which the VSC is bound, making it
easy to manage configuration changes network-wide.
Note On the MSM317, VSCs can also be bound directly to the switch ports. See the MSM317 Access
Device Installation and Getting Started Guide.
Synchronizing APs
After making configuration changes to an AP or a group, you must update all affected
controlled APs with the new settings by synchronizing them. See Synchronizing APs on
page 3-27.
