Working with AP Groups
AP (access point) groups can be used to define configuration options and apply them to groups of APs at once, without having to individually modify each AP’s settings.
For each group, administrators can create a configuration profile
that defines the channels, radio settings, Ethernet ports and other configurable fields for
all members of the group or for all APs of a specific model in the group. AP groups are
similar to WLAN groups (see Working with WLAN Groups for more information). While WLAN groups
can be used to specify which WLAN services are served by which APs, AP groups are used for
more specific fine-tuning of how the APs themselves behave.
NOTE
AP group configuration
settings can be overridden by individual AP settings. For example, if you want to set the
transmit power to a lower setting for only a few specific APs, leave the Tx Power Adjustment
at Auto in the AP group configuration page, then go to the individual AP
configuration page (Access Points > Access Points > Edit [AP MAC
address]) and set the Tx Power Adjustment to a lower setting.
