Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When AP hardware needs to be replaced, you can change the MAC address of the AP to that of a new AP to prevent repetitive data configurations. After the change, the new AP goes online using the ID of the original AP so that all data configurations of the original AP take effect on the new AP.

By default, you can run the display ap { all | ap-group ap-group } command to check the MAC address of an AP.

Precautions

Replacing an AP enables the new AP to go online on the AC but will interrupt services of the original AP.

The type of the new AP must be the same as that of the original AP.

Example

# Replace the AP with the ID 0 with the AP with the MAC address 0002-1110-0120.
