Change AP mode for multiple APs from local to FlexConnect

[emily00001]

Is there any nifty way to change AP mode from local to FlexConnect for all APs associated to a controller?

The process of finding each AP, setting, changing it and then saving is a bit time consuming. I guess it might be possible to write a shell script and have it ssh to the controller but short of that, anything built in to the WLC that I might have missed?

I do not think there is a built in feature for this conversion.

As long as you have AP names, then you can work out the CLI commands required for this

(WLC) >config ap mode flexconnect submode none <Cisco AP-1>
.
(WLC) >config ap mode flexconnect submode none <Cisco AP-n>

Ok thanks! I figured I would ask before I embark on doing it manually next time I get around to such a task.

Most commands done for specific AP's you would be doing the same. A single command for each AP.  I typically run the show AP summary and capture all the joined AP's and then use the provided hostnames for all my AP commands.
