DNAC wireless Network Profile Best Practices

[NekoViking]

Hello Everyone,

I would like your advices in order to know what is the best practice for the following.

Currently, on our DNAC, we have different wireless network profiles that are build differently and sites are assigned to them depending of their needs.
We are now wondering if it would be better building only one network profile with all SSIDs and then creating different AP zones in it.

Many thanks in advance for your help !

We have more than 300 sites.  

Each site is has it's own Site Tags, Policy Tags and RF Profile.  We did this because we can manipulate each site individually without affecting the other sites.

Currently running a very large DNAC managed Wireless network

My recommendations
Use the Wireless Network Profiles at a site/floor level
use AP zones to manage subsets of a floor

The AP zones were originally added for this exact reason, it also makes replacing APs easier as you dont have to worry about if the TAG was added to it in DNAC to make it use the AP zone.

The other thing is remember when ever you make a change to the Wireless Network Profile it will most likely cause client impact to all sites its attached to.
