Hi to all
I just want to connect the AIR-AP1562I-E-K9 to my C9800 controller.
The Access Point comes in bridge mode but I need the AP in local or flex connect mode
I do not want to change the mode on the cli because I have many of those.
All AP´s should connect to the C9800 and then I want to change the mode.
In the AireOS world I had to add the MAC address to the AP policy, because of security.
That was fast and easy.
Is there a way to do that in the same way on my C9800 or do I have to configure the whole
mesh deployment setup with policys and tags and so on.
I have only one central C9800 and many branch offices.
Thanks in advance
BR
Alex

Hello Alex,
Like Scott said, first you need to create an authorization method list (Configuration > Security > AAA > Servers/Groups). I prefer to named them when possible.
Then you configure this method list within the default mesh profile (Configuration > Wireless > Mesh > Profiles) and you are then ready to add you APs MAC addresses (Configuration > Security > AAA > AAA Advanced > Device Authentication).
You can add them manually or import them through a csv file which is sweet, especially when you have thousands of APs to add!
You will find a screen for each of these three steps below.
