auto-create-rfd-template

Enables auto creation of an RF Domain:
  • when tokens are used to select the RF Domain to apply to devices matching the adoption criteria, and
  • the token-specified RF Domain does not exist.

During device adoption, if the token-specified RF Domain (configured using the ‘adopt‘ rule) is not found, the system auto creates a new RF Domain based on an existing RF Domain template specified using this command. This option is disabled by default.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i/e, AP560i/h
  • Service Platforms — NX5500, NX7500, NX9500, NX9600, VX9000

Syntax

auto-create-rfd-template <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>

Parameters

auto-create-rfd-template <RF-DOMAIN-NAME>
auto-create-rfd-template <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> Auto creates a new RF Domain based on an existing RF Domain template
  • <RF-DOMAIN-NAME> – Specify the RF Domain name (should be existing and configured). The new RF Domain created is saved with the token name specified in the ‘adopt‘ command.
Note: For more information on configuring tokens, see Usage Guidelines: Built-in Tokens & Alias.

Examples

The following example configures an adopt rule for adopting any AP7532 and applying an RF Domain matching the token “$MODEL[1:5]” to the adopted AP:
nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#adopt ap7532 precedence 20 
rf-domain $MODEL[1:5] any
nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#show context
auto-provisioning-policy test
 adopt ap7532 precedence 20 rf-domain $MODEL[1:5] any
nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#
The following example enables auto creation of an RF Domain using an existing RF Domain ‘rfd-AP‘ as template:
  • RF Domain name “AP-75”: Applicable to any AP 7532
    nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#auto-create-rfd-template AP-75
    nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#show context
    auto-provisioning-policy test
     adopt ap7532 precedence 20 any
     auto-create-rfd-template rfd-AP
    nx9500-6C8809(config-auto-provisioning-policy-test)#
  • As per the above configurations, when an AP 7532 comes up for first-time adoption, the system:
    • Checks for an RF Domain matching the options provided in the ‘adopt‘ rule, and if not found
    • auto creates the RF Domain only if:
      • A token is specified in the ‘adopt‘ rule. For example, $MODEL[1:5], and
      • the ‘auto-create-rfd-template‘ option is configured
    • Uses the ‘RF Domain‘ specified in the auto-create-rfd-template command as a template. Therefore, the specified RF Domain should be existing and configured.
    • Applies the new RF Domain to the AP.
