Configure AP Templates

Before you begin

Create a network policy for APs (see Configure Device Templates). You can also configure an AP template directly from the Common Objects tab.

About this task

Create AP device templates with default settings for all APs, and settings that ExtremeCloud IQ applies when APs are onboarded. Default AP settings can then be modified individually as required. AP templates enable quick AP deployment, with most of the port settings already applied by the associated template. Some devices have extra possible configuration options. What you see displayed is based on the device model.

Note

When AP device templates and auto-provisioning rules (see Configure Auto-Provisioning) are both in place for an AP when it is onboarded, the auto-provisioning rules are applied and the device template is ignored.
