Note
Ports on the Universal APs are labeled ETH0, ETH1. Other AP models label the ports GE1 and GE2.From the factory, the Universal APs are configured for management by ExtremeCloud IQ and always engage with ExtremeCloud IQ for onboarding. You have the option to deploy your devices locally — on-premise from ExtremeCloud IQ Controller (or a WiNG controller) — or to deploy your devices from ExtremeCloud IQ. From an ExtremeCloud IQ account, onboard and register the Universal AP using either Local Management or Cloud Management. To manage these APs on-premise, you must specify Local Management.
When deploying the AP for Local Management, the AP will restart as a WiNG7 access point and discover the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller provided that you have configured the necessary DHCP and DNS options. If at any time, you want to manage the Universal AP from ExtremeCloud IQ, from the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller Device List, simply "Release to Cloud" The APs will restart and operate again in the ExtremeCloud IQ operating mode.
