Figure 2 Device Setup > Aruba Configuration > Aruba AP Groups Navigation
Aruba AP Groups are not to be confused with conventional AWMS device groups. AWMS supports both
group types and both are viewable on the
Groups > List page when so configured.
Aruba AP Groups have the following characteristics:
z Aruba AP Groups are global, and any Aruba controller can support multiple Aruba AP Groups.
z Aruba AP Groups are assigned to folders, and folders define visibility. Using conventional AWMS folders
to define visibility, Aruba AP Groups can provide visibility to some or many components while blocking
visibility to other users for more sensitive components, such as SSIDs. Navigate to the
Users pages to
define folder visibility, and refer to “Visibility in Aruba Configuration” on page41.
z You can import a controller configuration file from ArubaOS for Aruba AP Group deployment in AWMS.
For additional information, refer to the following sections in this document:
z “Setting Up Initial Aruba Configuration” on page24
z “General Aruba AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines” on page30

The second major component of Aruba Configuration is the AP Overrides page, appearing immediately
below
Aruba AP Groups in the Navigation Pane. Figure 3 illustrates this location and access:
