Hello,

Please i need guidance on how to configure C9120AXI-E access point.

The plan is i have a big hall that can accommodate 500 persons, i have a Cisco 9300 24p switch and 8 piece of C9120AXI-E access point. 

Please i need steps on how to configure the access point and make one out of the 8 to serve as the controller. also help with the controller config, i am new to Cisco but i love the product and i want to learn more while i need help to solve this immediate problem, thanks......
