Is there a way to set the WLAN ID number when pushing a WLAN template to a WLC?

[srosenthal]

I have some WLAN templates on Prime 2.1 and want to push them to a WLC and have them each have a specific WLAN ID.  Is there some way to do that?  When I have applied them to a WLC they take the first unused ID's.

Thanks, Seth

Hi,

you want spacafic wlan ids for ssids or want to use them the unused ids one by one.

To apply spacafic wlan ids for ssids you can create a cli template on the WLC and push them to WLCs.

On the PI click on configure -- controller template launch pad cli -- general and create a template with the following commands:

(Cisco Controller) >config wlan create <WLAN id>  <name>  <ssid> 

(Cisco Controller) >config wlan create 5  test  test

Push the template to the concerned WLCs.

Thank you for the reply.  Once I create the wlan via the cli template, can I then push down the template from Prime that would contain the rest of the configuration, such as QoS and security settings?  Would it then match the wlan name?

Hi,

I havent tested it but the settings (QOS) should  be pushed by the PI.

It should work, you can give it a try and let us know.

I was able to use the CLI to configured the WLAN ID and name that would match the PI template that I wanted to apply.  Then I pushed the template down to the WLC and it worked.

Thanks for the help.
