Adding Wlan interface to group

bruce.thornton — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 15:18:07 GMT

I need to add more DHCP ip addresses for my production wireless network. Working with TAC I understand I can created another Wlan interface, create a group and add the respective Interfaces to that group and the ip address will be allocated round-robin. However when I do this clients will have to re-associate. My question is for the clients that already have ip addresses will I have to go to those clients and physically release/renew or will they get new ip addresses?

If you are totally changing the IP range then yes, there will be downtime. But you don't need to renew/release. As clients will face interruption anyway you can simply disable and enable the WLAN at once forcing everyone to reconnect.

Now if you are only adding one more interface to a interface group and will not changing gateway or mask, then, there will be no downtime.
