area

Sets the physical area where the device (controller, service platform, or access point) is deployed. This can be a building, region, campus or other area that describes the deployment location of the device. Assigning an area name is helpful when grouping devices in RF Domains and profiles, as devices in the same physical deployment location may need to share specific configuration parameters in respect to radio transmission and interference requirements specific to that location.

Supported in the following platforms:

Access Points — AP7502, AP7522, AP7532, AP7562, AP7602, AP7612, AP7622, AP7632, AP7662, AP8163, AP8432, AP8533
Wireless Controller — RFS4010
Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

area <AREA-NAME>

Parameters

area <AREA-NAME>

area <AREA-NAME>

Sets the physical area where the device is deployed

<AREA-NAME> – Specify the area name (should not 64 characters in length).
