Supporting APs with Aruba Configuration
AP Overrides Guidelines
The AP Override component of Aruba Configuration appears in the navigation pane of the Device Setup >
Aruba Configuration
page. This component operates with the following principles:
z AP devices function within groups that define operational parameters for groups of APs. This is standard
across all of AWMS.
z AP Overrides allows you to change some parameters of any given AP without having to remove that AP
from the configuration group in which it operates.
z The name of any AP Override that you create should be the same as the name of the AP device to which
it applies. This establishes the basis of all linking to that AP device.
z Once you have created an AP Override, you select the WLANs in which it applies.
z Once you have created the AP Override, you can go one step further with the Exclude WLANs option of
AP Override, which allows you to exclude certain SSIDs from the AP override. For example, if you have a
set of WLANs with several SSIDs available, the
Exclude WLANs option allows you to specify which
SSIDs to exclude from the
AP Override.
z You can also exclude mesh clusters from the AP Override.
In summary, the
AP Override feature prevents you from having to create a new AP group for customized
APs that otherwise share parameters with other APs in a group.
AP Override allows you to have less total AP
groups than you might otherwise require.
