    The scenario is as follows:

     

    Some new APs will be introduced (non-aruba) and I need to make them valid APs so they do not get recognized as Rogues.

    Campus Deployment


    I have the MAC addresses but these APs have not been introduced to the network yet.

     

    Can I do this?

    Can I them to the campus whitelist?

    is there a CLI command I can run something like "wms ap <bssid> mode valid"???

    EDIT: The same applies to specific client MAC

    Can I do 'wms client <mac> mode valid" ??

    What I ended up doing was the following:

     

    wms client <mac> mode valid

    and

    wms ap <bssid> mode valid

     

    Whether it worked or not, I am not sure but I know for sure that it worked on an AP that was in the show wms ap list output.

     

    I am assuming that once the AP gets detected wirelessly that it will be set to valid.
