Centralised Configuration Management
Centralised configuration management is an alternative configuration
method to the web interface. It uses Trivial File Transfer Protocol
Topics:
• Device Management Overview
(TFTP) to enable devices to read and apply configuration files from
• TFTP Server Overview
a TFTP server. It is a fast and consistent way to configure a large
number of devices, reducing the potential for human error.
• TFTP Parameters
There are two ways to take advantage of TFTP configuration:
ICA v1.4.0 or later - Device Management via the ICA
Administration Console (RECOMMENDED)
For networks with an ICA v1.4.0 or higher, AP settings can be managed
from the ICA Administration console. A customisable
Site Default
template is included at installation, and further templates can be copied
from it and modified separately. Additionally, individual APs can have
specific settings overridden via the Administration Console.
In this case, the ICA will push configuration changes to the APs, and
no local setup is required.
ICA v1.3.1 or earlier, and 3rd party TFTP servers - Manually
editing configuration files
For older ICA systems and other TFTP servers, configuration files are
edited and uploaded manually, and APs must be configured to
periodically self-check and fetch new configuration files from the
server when available.
