Modifying the W-IAP Host Name
You can change the host name of a W-IAP through the Instant UI or the CLI.
In the Instant UI
To change the host name:
1. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP you want to rename.
2. Click the edit link.
3. Edit the W-IAP name in Name. You can specify a name of up to 32 ASCII characters.
4. Click OK.
In the CLI
To change the name:
(Instant AP)# hostname <name>
Configuring Zone Settings on a W-IAP
All W-IAPs in a cluster use the same SSID configuration including master and slave W-IAPs. However, if you
want to assign an SSID to a specific W-IAP, you can configure zone settings for a W-IAP.
The following constraints apply to the W-IAP zone configuration:
l A W-IAP can belong to only one zone and only one zone can be configured on an SSID.
l If an SSID belongs to a zone, all W-IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If no W-IAP belongs to the zone
configured on the SSID, the SSID is not broadcast.
l If an SSID does not belong to any zone, all W-IAPs can broadcast this SSID.
You can add an W-IAP zone by using the UI or the CLI.
