Using Smart Config to create a Branch Config Group

Before you begin to configure a branch config group for individual branch controllers, you must select a master controller to serve as the master for a group of branch controllers on a network. A controller can act either as a master or a branch controller, but not both.

 

Any change to an active branch controller’s DHCP pool configuration causes the branch controller to reboot.

 

Only 7200 Series controllers can server as a master controller for a group of branch controllers on a network.

Create and configure a branch config group on a master controller by navigating to the Configuration > BRANCH > Smart Config section of the master controller WebUI. The Smart Config page contains eight tabs for configuring the branch config group settings.

 

The BRANCH > Smart Config section of the master controller WebUI is available on the 7200 Series controllers only.

The configuration parameter on each of these tabs are described in the following pages:
