Naming and Grouping APs
In the Dell user-centric network, each AP has a unique name and belongs to an AP group.
Each AP is identified with an automatically-derived name. The default name depends on if the AP has been
previously configured.
l The AP has not been configured—the name is the AP’s Ethernet MAC address in colon-separated
hexadecimal digits.
l Configured with a previous ArubaOS release—the name is in the format building.floor.location
You can assign a new name (up to 63 characters) to an AP; the new name must be unique within your network.
For example, you can rename an AP to reflect its physical location within your network, such as “building3-
lobby”.
Renaming an AP requires a reboot of the AP before the new name takes effect. Therefore, wait until there is little or
no client traffic passing through the AP before renaming it.
An AP group is a set of APs to which the same configuration is applied. There is an AP group called “default” to
which all APs discovered by the controller are assigned. By using the “default” AP group, you can configure
features that are applied globally to all APs.
You can create additional AP groups and assign APs to that new group. However, an AP can belong to only one
AP group at a time. For example, you can create an AP group “Victoria” that consists of the APs that are
installed in a company’s location in British Columbia. You can create another AP group “Toronto” that consists
of the APs in Ontario. You can configure the “Toronto” AP group with different information from the APs in the
“Victoria” AP group (see Figure 64).
