Deploy a WLAN Using a Configuration Template 
Configuration groups are an easy way to group controllers logically. This feature provides a way to manage 
controllers with similar configurations. Templates can be extracted from existing controllers to provision new 
controllers or existing controllers with additional configuration parameters. Configuration groups can also be used 
to schedule configuration sets from being provisioned. Controller reboots can also be scheduled or cascaded 
depending on operational requirements. Mobility groups, dynamic channel assignment (DCA), and controller 
configuration auditing can also be managed using configuration groups. 
 
Configuration groups are used when grouping sites together for easier management (mobility groups, DCA, and 
regulatory domain settings) and for scheduling remote configuration changes. Configuration groups can be 
accessed from Design > Wireless Configuration (under Configuration) > Controller Config Groups
● 
Adding controllers: Controllers in WCS are presented and can be moved over to the new configuration 
group. 
● 
Applying templates: Discovered or already present templates can then be applied to the controller. 
● 
Auditing: Make sure that template-based audit is selected in the audit settings and then audit the controllers 
in the group to make sure that they comply with policies.
