Disable all radios in one AP group

[stoned@greenvilleisd.com]

We are in a school district that often hosts robotics competition.  Robotics equipment require us to turn off all radios so there are no interference with their signals.

So far we have been shutting down the ports connected to the APs or simply unplugging the AP from the ports.

---I have found where Wireless- 802.11b/g/n - network where you can enable all status.- will not work.  I only need to do this for one ap group at one school.

--- have also found under Wireless - All APs where you can disable status on one AP at a time. - too slow.

--->Is there a way to disable all radios in a single AP group?

Thanks for your time.

The "fastest" way is to create an RF Profile where all the Data Rates are disabled and assign to the AP Group, however, when an RF Profile is changed in an AP Group the APs reboot. 

Another method is to remove all the SSID from the AP Group so all APs in that particular AP Group is not broadcasting any SSID.

I agree with Leo on AP Groups but some alternative options without disrupting all APs in the group would be:

Disable chosen APs via bulk CLI commands. As I am an awful programmer I use excel:

config ap disable <ap name>
y

If you have it, use Cisco Prime Infrastructure to deploy a template to select APs to disable them.

I created a test Group and removed all SSID from the AP group.  this is working for us.  Thanks for you help.

I've created a WLAN group called "Disabled", with no WLANs active. Then, under the AP Group you can select the WLAN Group that radios go into - just select the Disabled WLAN Group you created.
