FortiWLC – AP Groups

AP Groups

Create AP groups with list of APs associated in this controller. The AP groups can be mapped to feature groups to easily deploy configurations to the associated APs.

You can create a maximum 128 AP groups. The maximum number APs in an AP group is same as the maximum supported by the controller. An AP can be part of only one AP group or one feature group at any pont of time.

The default page, lists available AP groups with the following details about each of the AP groups:

  • AP Group ID: A unique number associated with the AP group.
  • AP Group Name: Name of the AP group.
  • Description: Descriptive text about the AP group.
  • Default AP Group: Specifies if an AP group is set as default. If set as default, all APs that join the controller will be associated with this AP group. You can have only one default group.

NOTE: The default AP group takes precedence even if you have a default feature group.

Creating an AP Group

Click the Add button and specify name (special characters and spaces cannot be used), description and also select if this group is the default AP group. Click OK to complete this step.
