Catalyst Center Wireless Network Profiles Policy Tags

[Chris Terry]

I was creating a wireless network profile in Catalyst Center to deploy to my 9800 WLC.

I was wanting to use the same custom policy tag for multiple sites that would have the same SSIDs broadcasting. I can't seem to select multiple sites when I create the custom policy tag. Is that by design? Is there a way to do that or a better alternative?

I was wanting to keep the same Policy Tag to keep down on the clutter. I know if you don't create a custom policy tag it will dynamically create one per site for the APs at said site. With the Policy Tag just mapping the WLAN to the Policy Profile and that being same across all sites I don't see why I can't use the same custom policy tag across multiple sites.

It seems to be possible in 2.3.7 

"Custom policy tags can be reused across sites (areas, buildings, and floors). When you assign a custom policy tag to a site—an area, a building or multiple floors in a building, all APs provisioned to that site and AP zone can use the same custom policy tag. By default, the custom policy tags are applicable for APs in the default AP zone; for custom AP zones, edit the policy tag and assign the custom policy tag to the required zones."

Thanks! I was on 2.3.5.6 prior. I updated to 2.3.7.7, and it even has a information banner about using the same policy tag across multiple sites.
