Add or Edit a Configuration Profile

ExtremeCloud IQ Controller is installed with a default configuration Profile for each AP platform. You can modify the default Profile or create a new Profile, but default Profiles cannot be deleted.

New Profiles display the configuration settings that were delivered with your initial ExtremeCloud IQ Controller installation. After making changes, if you need to return to a base ExtremeCloud IQ Controller configuration, create a new Profile for the AP platform. The new Profile will consist of the initial settings. Before configuring a unique configuration Profile, configure the networks and roles associated with the new Profile.
  1. Go to Configure > Sites and select a site.
  2. Select the Device Groups tab.
  3. To add a new device group, select Add. Or, select a device group from the list.
