Bulk Conversion of IAPs to Campus APs

    Hello All,

     

    Is there a way to do a bulk conversion of IAPs to Campus APs?

     

    I have like about 70 IAPs I need to convert to Campus APs. How would you advice I should proceed?

     

    Do I bring up a VC first and get all other APs join the cluster? Then proceed to convert the VC to a Campus. Will the VC trigger all other IAPs to convert to Campus APs?

     

    Or will I have to convert them indvidually?

    Yep - connect all the ap's (in 64 packs or less) to the same VC - and it will convert all the ap's on the same vc to be CAP'S

     

    If u are using iAP93 so it's in 16 ap's per VC (just a note)

    I'm using IAP135s. How many APs can a IAP135 VC manage?

     

    Will 64 IAPs be too much?

    Yes,Its the max recommended. 

    If u planing not to convert them and use them as IAP units also consider troughput needs,client technical demands and needs and maximum users.
