Per-AP Override

AOS-8 now allows you to configure specific configuration at per-AP level to override AP group level settings in the WebUI. Hence, any options or values that you configure for a specific AP overrides the same options or values configured for the AP group to which the AP belongs. This is to ensure that the configuration intended for a specific AP are not applied across the entire AP group.

Following are some of the benefits of the per-AP override feature:

• For large AP deployments, you can identify specific AP to broadcast specific wireless SSID Service Set Identifier. SSID is a name given to a WLAN and is used by the client to access a WLAN network..
• All group level configuration profiles (RF Radio Frequency. RF refers to the electromagnetic wave frequencies within a range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, including the frequencies used for communications or Radar signals. Management, Wireless LAN Local Area Network. A LAN is a network of connected devices within a distinct geographic area such as an office or a commercial establishment and share a common communications line or wireless link to a server., QOS, Mesh, IDS Intrusion Detection System. IDS monitors a network or systems for malicious activity or policy violations and reports its findings to the management system deployed in the network., and so on) can be applied at per-AP level.
• You can troubleshoot connectivity issues for APs in some locations by adjusting minimum or maximum channel bandwidth and minimum or maximum EIRP Effective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna. through AirMatch solution.
• You can obtain more information about RF Radio Frequency. RF refers to the electromagnetic wave frequencies within a range of 3 kHz to 300 GHz, including the frequencies used for communications or Radar signals. environment by configuring some APs in spectrum mode and monitor mode.
• You do not have to re-provision APs in different groups for applying configurations to different APs.
• You can add all types of AP profiles at per-AP level.

The following procedure overrides the group level settings by adding a virtual AP profile to an AP in the AP group:

1. In the Managed Network node hierarchy, navigate to Configuration > AP Groups page.
2. Under AP Groups table, click on the AP group to be configured.

   The AP Groups <AP Group Name> table is displayed.

3. In the APs tab, select the AP where you want to add a custom per-AP override profile.

   The Profiles for AP <name> window is displayed, listing the profiles that you can apply at per-AP level.

   The Per AP Override column in the APs tab indicates whether a profile has been applied to the AP to override AP group level configuration. The Per AP Override column displays Yes when the AP is configured to override AP group level configuration. Else, the Per AP Override column displays No.

4. Expand Wireless LAN and select Virtual AP.

   The Virtual AP Profile table is displayed.

5. Click + to add a new profile.

   The Add/Assign Profile pop-up window is displayed.

6. Perform one of the following from the Virtual AP profile drop-down list:
   • Select an existing virtual AP profile.
   • Select New to add a new profile, and enter a profile name in the Profile Name field.
7. Click Submit.
8. Click Pending Changes.
9. In the Pending Changes window, select the check box and click Deploy Changes.

   The per-AP override profile is added to the AP.
