3.6.2Your Requirements
1You want to manage the APs in your company using one controller AP’s Web Configurator. That is, you only need to know one IP address to edit the settings of the NWAs in your wireless network.
2You want to have a backup of the NWA controller AP configuration.
3.6.3Setup
In this example, each of your NWA standalone AP mirror each other. They all have the same SSID profiles stored. First you need to download the configuration file from one of your NWAs for backup purposes. Refer to Section 23.8.1 on page 282 for information on how to download the configuration file from your NWA.
In case there are various SSID profiles stored in each NWA standalone AP, the administrator will have to copy each SSID profile to just one NWA (which will serve as the NWA controller AP.)
Note: This tutorial covers only the MGNT MODE and Controller screens.
You will need to do the following steps to configure the management modes of your NWAs.
