Abstract

The ExtremeCloud IQ Controller v10.12.01 User Guide provides comprehensive technical instructions for configuring, managing, and deploying Extreme Networks Wi-Fi 7, Wi-Fi 6, and 6E-enabled infrastructure. This release introduces several new features, including Automatic Frequency Coordination (AFC) support, AKM 24 WPA3 Personal for WiFi 7 AP5020, and high-density deployment support for Wi-Fi 6e and Wi-Fi 7 access points. The guide details advanced features, including support for AP3000, AP4000, and AP5000 series access points, with emphasis on WPA3 authentication, dynamic RF management, and GRE point-to-point tunneling for traffic segmentation. It covers the configuration of complex wireless topologies, such as client bridge mode for extending wired networks over wireless, and the use of VLANs for traffic isolation. The document also explains the centralized management of APs, automated AP adoption processes, real-time RF environment scanning, and self-optimizing channel and power selection for performance tuning. In-depth sections on configuring site-specific device groups, deploying security policies, and integrating with cloud-based management systems make this guide essential for network engineers handling large, scalable wireless deployments with ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.
