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.
