Changing AP mode from monitor to Flex

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for your response and answers, helped me a lot and really appreciated.
Need one more help from you guys, i have one AP that i need to move from monitor mode to Flex mode, I have Site tag created and selected Flex profile as well under Sitetag (Not Local one). When i tried to change it from Local to Flex i don't see Flex in dropdowm.
I have number of APs in that Sitetag in flex mode working fine but only one AP that i need to change sitetag.
How can i do it only for single AP so that other APs in that sitetag will not get affect

It's not supposed to work that way :
You can move an AP to a particular mode (sensor mode to local mode or flex mode)
using the site tag with the corresponding mode.

Simply you just need to do 'Clear'. Means -

If you just do clear, AP will reload and go back to Flex mode again (from monitor mode), provided you have correct AP Tag config.
