Change DNS settings for all APs in a group?

    Our server team is migrating to new DNS servers in the very near future, with new IP addresses.  All the APs have statically assigned IP addresses, with the DNS address being part of that, of course.  I'm hoping there is a tidy way to change the DNS address that the APs point to, without having to discretely change it on each and every array, one at a time.

    Do you have APs controller managed, cloud managed or instant?

    If APs ar campus, you will need to reprovision all of them with new dns addresses,

    Other option would be, to create DHCP address reservations for APs and switch to dhcp hence APs will get new dns from dhcp server.

    Using static addresses for APs is always a little bit tricky and sometimes can mean more work on maintenance.
