Gracefully move all clients off of AP?

    As the title suggests, is there a way to move all clients off of an AP gracefully so I can move the AP to a new controller? 

     

    I'm aware of "arm move-sta" to move a single client, or just waiting until late evening, but thought it would be worthwhile to ask here in case I could learn some new cli commands. 

     

    Background:  I wanted to tinker with some different settings on a guest role we have, but found that after an upgrade to 8.5.0.10, there were 16 APs and 200+ clients connected to my test controller I hadn't noticed and I don't want to interrupt their sessions (Higher Ed with active classroom zoom sessions.)

    Even if you told everybody that you were doing something that would not disrupt their zoom meetings, if they have any problems they will blame you.  I would wait until you have a window....

    To be clear, there are ways to move clients off of APs, but with bandwidth and delay-sensitive applications, it is best to just wait until later.
