Deleting AP Group wrongly named ... "AP-Group South

  • 1.  Deleting AP Group wrongly named ... "AP-Group South

    Posted Jul 07, 2020 03:48 AM

    Hello,

     

    On AOS8 I have by mistake named an AP group without the closing apostrophes. Group meant to be created was "AP-Group South" but I typed "AP-Group South in the CLI instead. I cannot now remove the group without the closing apostrophe. While it does not have any technical impact, I would nevertheless like to clean up, and remove it.

     

    Thanks in advance.

     

    Regards

    Are you also unable to delete it via GUI?

    Hello Fabian,

     

    No it was not possible to delete through the GUI, it gave some error message, which I do remember.

     

    Eventually got to do it in the CLI as per suggestion from another member earlier in the thread, by enclosing the string between ' '

     

    Kind regards

    Can you try to delete in the CLI by escaping the space with a backslash \?

     

    (MM01) [Subtest1] (config) #ap-group "Test\ group
    (MM01) ^[Subtest1] (AP group ""Test\ group") #
    (MM01) ^[Subtest1] (AP group ""Test\ group") #exit
    (MM01) ^[Subtest1] (config) #no ap-group "Test\ group
    (MM01) ^[Subtest1] (config) #

    If that doesn't work, place the whole between ' :

    (MM01) [Subtest1] (config) #show configuration effective | include Test
    ap-group '"Test\ group'
    (MM01) [Subtest1] (config) #no ap-group '"Test\ group'
    (MM01) ^[Subtest1] (config) #

    Hello Herman,

     

    Many thanks for your response and suggestion.

    I have now had the time to give your suggestion a try, and it did work with the second suggestion, that is to say:

     #no ap-group '"Test\ group'

     

    Thank you for all the help.

     

    Kind regards PM
