WiSM and default-group

[var-node]

Hi

Running 7.0.220 on our WiSMs/WCS. Is there still no way to remove or modifiy the "default-group" wlan group?

thx in advance

[Scott Fella]

Nope. That can't be modified or removed. To make any changes, you would need to create ap groups.

would be nice if cisco decide to change this circumstance. Dont like that APs can broadcast a bunch of ssids when they are not configured...

thx

[Scott Fella]

Yeah... your best bet is just to disable the SSID or once the ap has joined, put them in a different ap group which has no SSID's.

Thanks,

The correct design/configuration is to NOT create WLANs ID 1-16 if you do not want them on a default AP.

WLAN 1 - WLAN 16 will always be in the Default-Group. As such, if you create your WLANs as 17 and higher, you will have nothing in the Default-Group and therefor "default" APs will not have a configuration.

thx, weterry your right. i already got that. but, is there a way to define the WLAN number during configuration using the WCS Controller Template launch Pad? I know to do that if i configure the WLAN directly on the controller but i never see a option to select on the wcs. what point me to the next problem: i have already configured wlan numbers through 16.   so can i renumber them? or do i have to delete and readd?

From WCS, it chooses the next available WLAN ID, IIRC.  that may have changed in the 7.0.220.0 version of WCS, but I can't verify it at this time.

As for renumbering the WLAN, you would need to delete them, and then recreate, or push from WCS in the particular order that you want them to appear on the WLC.
