    Hi,All

    I want to know it.

    How many AP groups can you set with a controller?
    In addition, how many SSID profiles can set with a controller?
    Somebody tell me the maximum number.

     

    We are required by a customer. "Being able to be configuring with a controller for 512 groups"

    Regards

    Hi

     

    As such there is no limit for creating AP-Groups in a controller. we can create any number of SSID profiles and VAP profiles limit will be mapping. we can map max 16 VAP profiles to one AP-Group and each VAP can be mapped with one SSID profile. 

     

    Can you explain your use case scenario of creating 512 AP-groups in controller ? are you going to provision separate AP-group to each AP ?

     

    Please feel free to comeback on this.

    I understood a limit.

    Yes, I am going to provision separate AP-group to each AP.

    I make grouping and want to manage it in 512 groups every area.
    I recognize that there are 16 limits of the SSID.
    I want to distribute a group for the management with a controller.

     

    Regards

    Mika,

     

    AP-Groups are designed to give the same settings to a group of access points.  You should not have a separate ap-group for each access point.

    HI Mika,

     

    Until and unless you want to broadcast separate SSID per AP we don't need to provision them with separate AP-group.

     

    We can use the same AP-group to provision multiple APs, in case if you want to broadcast same SSID but with some changes per AP you have "AP specific Config " option.

     

    Please look at the above option. managing 512 AP-groups is really very cumbersome
