    Is it possible to push multiple Templates to clusters? We would like to have a MAC address template that would be pushed to all of our remote site clusters, and then seperate templates for each site to correlate with there individual DHCP servers. Basically all the settings would be the same, SSID's, security, NTP server, only thing different would be the DHCP server address.

    Clusters all run the same firmware, in that, you can only have one template per version. Not sure why you'd want to segment in the manner you've articulated. Can you line out the use case for different DHCP servers int the same cluster?

    Use custom variables in your airwave template.

    The rough procedure I use for when provisioning this is:

    1. Only plugin 1 IAP in the cluster

    2. Add the VC to airwave, add the DHCP server address in the Manage page as custom_variable_1

    3. have a line like dhcp-server %custom_variable_1% in your template

    4. convert the device to management mode and push the template

    5. once you get a Good config audit plugin in the other IAPs.

    In the new 7.7.6 how can you change a instant controller from monitor mode to manage mode?  When I try to modify the device it says change management mode on is not applicable to the device.

    Also my new Instant Controller and AP came in as mismatched and when I tried to fix that I got this:

     

    IGC engine is not currently running. It may be disabled. Enable it on the Groups Basic page. The engine may take a few minutes to start after it is enabled.

    Are you trying to change the VC or the AP entry ?

     

    To enable the IGC, go here under your applicable group:

    That had been enabled and configured already.  I would like to change both. I am trying to get the VC to assume the Instant GUI config settings with the SSID that has been setup.
