Variables are AP parameters that can be configured, but cannot inherit values from the default group. These user- defined parameters are specific to an AP, for example, Virtual Controller (VC) name, IP address, and VLAN. Therefore, ensure that you set all parameters on all the APs in a cluster.

If one or more VCs are grouped together within a cluster of APs, you can configure the APs associated with each VC as a single unit from the Cloud Network Manager. These configuration parameters are assigned with the same default value. You can quickly configure a number of APs using a group.

The group configuration is shared across all the VCs and APs. Sometimes a specific VC may require configuration that is different from the rest of the configuration shared by the group. The configuration that is different from the rest of the group is known as Override. Override can be configured when the user clicks on the individual VCs on the left pane of the UI. Resolve Override refers to removing these configuration specific for a VC and making the configuration same for all the VCs in a group.

The following example displays how Wireless Intrusion Detection System (WIDS) parameters are resolved for overrides:

1.Click a Virtual Controller from a group level and change the WIDS parameters. The Override icon for the VC is displayed.

2.Using Resolve Override allows you to remove the existing configurations for a specific VC and ensuring the configurations are the same for all VCs in a group.
