Hi, as per topic title
Is the following achievable,
if so what is the procedure?
Example
We have three cAP lite devices,
named: apt1, apt2 & apt3
apt1 has SSID: APT1
apt2 has SSID: APT2
apt3 has SSID: APT3
I would like to be able to change the wireless password on all three devices, but from only from one place
i.e.
I dont want to have to go into three different places to change the password for the three devices independently
Thanks
Yes it’s possible.
Make three configurations, 1 per accesspoint. That way you can specify a single SSID per accesspoint.
But…why? You are still on the same network (unless client isolation is activated).
What is the purpose? Perhaps the answer is not suitable for your problem…
Would you care to explain the general procedure ???
Yes, but with the three configurations if I wanted to change the wireless password I would have to go to the three configuration independently and change the password for each one.
I already explained that we want a solution for exactly that (not to have to go to each config and change the password one by one as there will be 38 different APs!)
And yes, there will be client isolation all the way down the chain.
Looking at this issue, it seems to me that the only way to achieve this is to make different config for each AP and then to use a script to make a mass update of the AP configs wireless password.
Just was hoping someone could confirm possible solutions before I invest time doing it 'my way' as obviously there may be a straight forward way to do this without using scripts that I am not grasping.
You can make x (i.e. 3 or 38) security configurations per SSID (containing the corresponding password of the SSID). Changing a password would be done in a single place.
Can you please explain: starting with 3 accesspoints and changing your question to a situation of 38 accesspoints!?
These example are for different SSID on the same AP
I have a one SSID for each AP.
A single place to change the password so that each different config is updated
From what you have said I am understanding that you are saying that I would change the password on each config independently, one by one, this is what I dont want to do.
Whats the difference if it 3 or 38 or 200021 ??
One AP, one unique SSID and one master password
The password is to be the same for all unique SSID.
I cant make this any clearer, but seems people are not understanding me ...................
Make a security config in capsman (Security Cfg. tab)
Have that as your master password
Under COnfigurations, create a config for each SSID
Make each config reference the one Security config for their security (Top option under Security tab in new config window)
Assign the different configs to the different APs.
Anytime you want to update the password, update the 1 Security Config, all configs should be pushed out to update.
This an example where to configure the access points and the security rules. Read the manual. It is no that difficult. And what others stated, your question can be done.
You should be able to do this with the manual and the post above this one.
Thank you ever so much
I needed to add provisioning rules, but is working as wanted.
Hi!
Someone else was able to point my in the right direction.
Thanks
