5 - 6 WiNG 5.6 Access Point System Reference Guide
• RF Domain aliases are defined from Configuration > Devices > RF Domain > Alias screen. These aliases are available
for use for a site as a RF Domain is site specific. RF Domain alias values override alias values defined in a global alias or a
profile alias configuration.
• Device aliases are defined from Configuration > Devices > Device Overrides > Network > Alias screen. Device alias
are utilized by a single device only. Device alias values override alias values defined in a global alias, profiles alias or RF
Domain alias configuration.
Using an alias, configuration changes made at a remote location override any updates at the management center. For example,
if an Network Alias defines a network range as 192.168.10.0/24 for the entire network, and at a remote deployment location,
the local network range is 172.16.10.0/24, the network alias can be overridden at the deployment location to suit the local
requirement. For the remote deployment location, the network alias works with the 172.16.10.0/24 network. Existing ACLs
using this network alias need not be modified and will work with the local network for the deployment location. This simplifies
ACL definition and management while taking care of specific local deployment requirements.
Alias can be classified as:
• Network Basic Alias
• Network Group Alias
• Network Service Alias
