Use Case: Importing A Floor Plan with Unknown APs

You have the option to create a floor plan map with a third-party tool and import the map to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. Upon import, the AP place holder icon displays ().

You may want to create a floor plan before you have the APs installed. Or you may be reusing a floor plan that incorporated different APs from those that you are using now. In either case, the APs are unknown to ExtremeCloud IQ Controller.

To import an existing floor plan and update the associated APs:

  1. From the floor plan Configure page, select Import and select the floor plan file to import.
    The map is displayed with unknown AP icons .
  2. From the map, right-click each icon and select the serial number for the AP that will be installed in that location.
