Setting a master controller and static ip for each AP via CLI

  • 1.  Setting a master controller and static ip for each AP via CLI

    Posted Aug 29, 2024 10:55 AM

    Hello Experts,

    Is there a an equivalent CLI command to set the 'Master' Controller and Static IP addresses to APs once they are approved in the allowlist?

    It is time consuming to go the the AP>Campus List GUI and manually input the information.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Why are you setting static discovery rather than dynamic?

    Use DHCP or DNS discovery, make life easier, not harder.

    The settings you are looking at are part of the AP provisioning, you can provision APs via the CLI but have to do that one AP at a time still.

    As Carson always says, you don't have to do this just because it's possible.

    I can also recommend that you don't use static IP addresses. Controller Layer 3 Discovery (with DHCP or DNS) and AP with DHCP addresses is really the better way. That way you stay flexible and changing IP addresses later is no problem at all.
