Maintenance

The Maintenance tab allows you to maintain the network and provides details on the firmware version, license and so on.

Labels, variables, groups, and overrides

Labels are tags on APs that filter APs for monitoring and reporting purposes. An AP can have multiple labels. For example, consider an AP labeled as "Building 25" and "Lobby". These tags identify if the location of the AP is within the enterprise campus and the building. The APs in other buildings can also be tagged with “Lobby” to enable all the APs in the lobby of all these buildings in the campus. To filter and monitor APs in the lobbies of all the campus buildings, tag all the APs in the lobby with the label “Lobby”. Labels can also be used to determine the ownership, departments, and functions of APs.
