AP Management Design
To facilitate management of a large number of APs, you can create an AP group for batch AP configuration and upgrade.
AP Group Division
An AP group is used to configure and manage APs in batches so that the APs inherit the configurations of the group to which they belong.
You can create an AP group based on the following items:
- Physical location (For example, APs on the same floor can be added to the same AP group. This mode is preferred.)
- Device model
- IP or MAC address
- SN
AP Upgrade
To reduce the impact of the AP upgrade on the network, you can upgrade the APs on the network in batches when the network services are not running.
By planning upgrade tasks, you can flexibly upgrade the WAC + Fit AP network.
- Upgrade scope: You can upgrade APs in batches or upgrade a single AP.
- AP type: You can upgrade APs of the specified model.
- AP group: You can upgrade APs in a specified group.
- Upgrade mode: Immediate upgrade, automatic in-service upgrade, and scheduled upgrade are supported. You can also only download the upgrade file, which requires manual AP reset.
