CHAPTER 4. AP Connection Management© SAMSUNG Electronics Co., Ltd. page 170 of 6894.2 AP Management4.2.1 AP Group ConfigurationThe APC manages the services provided to the AP by group. An operator can add or deleteseveral APs to/from a group. It is also possible to add/remove WLANs to/from an AP groupso that the same WLAN services can be provided for each group.When the APC is installed for the first time, a ‘default’ group is created. When the APinformation is created first time, the AP is automatically added to the ‘default’ group.If the ‘auto-discovery’ mode is enabled in the APC, an AP connected to the APC isautomatically added to the ‘default’ group. For reference, operator can specify a specificAP group where an AP will be added during auto-discovery configuration.An operator can manage the services per group by creating a new AP group and can moveor a specific AP to another group or delete it in the original group. The APs deleted in agroup are automatically moved to the ‘default’ group.When a new AP group is created, it is possible to configure AP information for each group.If the Overwrite option is enabled for each setting, the respective setting is applied to allAPs within the group.Generally, up to 16 WLANs can be added to an AP group. However, if a root AP iscontained in an AP group, only up to 15 WLANs can be added to the group.If the AP group information is changed, i.e. if an AP moves to another group, the AP usesthe WLAN of a new group. Therefore, some existing WLANs in the AP are deleted andsome new WLANs can be added. The detail example is shown below.(Example) Default group: Includes wlan1, wlan2, wlan3, and wlan4.New group: Includes wlan4, wlan5, and wlan6.When the AP_1 moves from the default group to a new groupThe APC asks the AP_1 to delete the wlan1, wlan2, and wlan3.The APC asks the AP_1 to add the wlan5 and wlan6.Configuration using CLITo manage an AP group, execute the command as follows.1) Go to the configure mode of the CLI.WEC8500# configure terminalWEC8500/configure#
