Use Case: Distributed Site
Scenario: A site offers remote clinics with 10 APs each. This requires consistent configuration across all
clinics.
Solution: Create a separate site for each clinic location. Each site includes a unique device group. Create
one profile configuration and share the configuration Profile for all sites and device groups. Each site
represents a separate roaming domain using a single configuration Profile and a single RF Management
Profile.
Device Groups
The device group is composed of APs with the same model, configuration Profile, and RF Management
profile. The device group is defined within a site, so device groups within a site also share the
configuration type and licensing domain that is defined for the site.
If you have created a default device group for a specific AP model, upon discovery, the APs that match
that AP model are available on the Create Device Group dialog. Manually select each AP to add it to the
group. To automatically assign APs to a device group configure Adoption Rules before APs connect for
the first time.
If the device group is not yet created upon AP discovery, the AP is listed in the Access Points List with a
status of
in-service trouble
. After you create the device group and specify the configuration Profile for
that AP model, APs that match the configuration Profile are available on the Create Device Group
dialog. Manually select each AP to add it to the group.
Each device group contains the following elements:
•
AP devices included in the group. An AP can only be a member of one device group at a time. You
can manually move a device from one group to another.
•
A configuration Profile, which includes:
•
Networks
•
Roles
•
Radios
•
Wired Ports
