Working with controlled APs
Configuring APs
Configuration strategy
There are two ways to approach AP configuration:
Discover APs and then configure groups
This strategy works as follows:
1. Deploy the APs in their default configuration on the network.
2. Allow the discovery process to find the APs and place them in the default group.
3. Create group definitions and then move the APs to the appropriate group.
Tip Configure the default group to disable all radios. In this way, the default group becomes a
staging area to hold newly added APs. Once discovered, the new AP can be moved to its
appropriate group where its radio is activated.
Configure groups and then discover APs
This strategy works as follows:
1. Create group definitions.
2. Manually define each AP in the appropriate group.
3. Deploy the APs in their default configuration on the network.
4. Allow the discovery process to find the APs and place them in the pre-configured
groups.
