ap-group

Function

The ap-group command creates an AP group and displays the AP group view, or displays the view of an existing AP group.

The undo ap-group command deletes an AP group.

By default, the system provides the AP group default.

undo ap-group { name group-name | all }

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Value
name group-name	Specifies the name of an AP group.	The value is a string of 1 to 35 characters, which can be Chinese characters or Chinese + English characters. It cannot contain question marks (?) or slashes (/), and cannot start or end with spaces or double quotation marks (" "). If the AP group name contains spaces, the input name must start and end with a quotation mark ("), for example, "huawei name1". The quotation marks at the beginning and end of the AP group name occupy two characters in total. NOTE: You can only use a command editor of the UTF-8 encoding format to edit Chinese characters.

Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

If you need to perform the same configuration on multiple APs, add the APs to an AP group and perform the configuration in the AP group. The configuration takes effect on all APs of the group. This prevents repetitive configuration.

Follow-up Procedure

Run the ap-group (AP view) or ap-regroup command to add APs to an AP group.

Precautions

If the configuration of an AP in the AP view is different from that in the AP group view, the configuration in the AP view is preferentially used.
The device supports a maximum of 256 AP groups.
The AP group that has APs cannot be deleted. The AP group default cannot be deleted either.
By default, an AP group has the following profiles bound: AP system profile default, 2G radio profile default, 5G radio profile default, regulatory domain profile default, WIDS profile default, and AP wired port profile default.

Example

# Create the AP group group1 and display the AP group view.

<HUAWEI> system-view
[HUAWEI] wlan 
[HUAWEI-wlan-view] ap-group name group1
[HUAWEI-wlan-ap-group-group1]
