Configuring WLANs
Note
When you upgrade to controller software release 5.2, the controller creates the default-group
access point group and automatically populates it with the first 16 WLANs (WLANs with IDs 1
through 16, or fewer if 16 WLANs are not configured). This default group cannot be modified
(you cannot add WLANs to it nor delete WLANs from it). It is dynamically updated whenever
the first 16 WLANs are added or deleted. If an access point does not belong to an access point
group, it is assigned to the default group and uses the WLANs in that group. If an access point
joins the controller with an undefined access point group name, the access point keeps its group
name but uses the WLANs in the default-group access point group.
