General Aruba AP Groups Procedures and Guidelines
Guidelines and Pages for Aruba AP Groups in Aruba Configuration
The fields and default settings for Aruba AP Groups are described in “Aruba AP Groups” on page53.
The following guidelines govern the configuration and use of Aruba AP Groups across AWMS:
z Aruba AP Groups function with standard AWMS groups that contain them. Add Aruba AP Groups to
standard AWMS groups. Additional procedures in this document explain their interoperability.
z APs can belong to a controller's AWMS group or to an AWMS group by themselves.
z All configurations of Aruba AP Groups must be pushed to Aruba controllers to become active on the
network.
z Additional dynamics between master, standby master, and local controllers still apply. In this case, refer
to “Using Master, Standby Master, and Local Controllers in Aruba Configuration” on page40.
The following pages in AWMS govern the configuration and use of Aruba AP Groups or standard device
groups across AWMS:
z The Device Setup > Aruba Configuration navigation pane displays standard AOS components and your
custom-configured Aruba AP Groups, WLANs, and AP Overrides.
z You define or modify Aruba AP Groups on the Device Setup > Aruba Configuration page. Click Aruba AP
Groups
from the navigation pane.
z You select Aruba AP Groups to associate with AMP (AWMS) Groups with the Groups > Aruba Config page.
z You modify devices in Aruba AP Groups with the APs/Devices > List page, clicking Modify These Devices.
This is the page at which you assign devices to a given group and Aruba AP Group.
Selecting Aruba Controller Groups
To select Aruba AP Groups, navigate to the Device Setup > Aruba AP Groups page. This page is central to
defining Aruba AP Groups, to viewing the AMP groups with which an Aruba AP Group is associated,
changing or deleting Aruba AP Groups, and assigning AP devices to an Aruba AP Group.
Configuring Aruba AP Groups
Perform the following steps to display, add, edit, or delete Aruba AP Groups in Aruba Configuration.
1. Browse to the
Device Setup > Aruba Configuration page, and click the AP Groups heading in the
navigation pane on the left. The
Groups Summary page appears and displays all current Aruba AP
Groups, as illustrated in Figure 21 and described in Table 3 of the Appendix.
