Configure a Site

When you connect a device (switch or AP) to the cloud, the device is assigned to a default site. You can assign the device to a different site at any time. You can also add new sites and configure other aspects of existing sites.

Additionally, if you create a new network (wireless SSID), you must add the network to a site to provide the services to the wireless devices at that site.

Note

A site that contains ExtremeWireless WiNG APs will not contain ExtremeWireless APs. Also, a site will not combine ExtremeWireless WiNG 5 and 7 model access points. The configuration options that display depend on the type of APs deployed at the site.

To configure a site:

1. Select Configure > Sites from the menu.
   The Sites list displays.
2. To add a new site, select Add. Alternatively, select an existing site, and select Configure Site.
   The Configure Site page opens.

3. Enter a name for the site, country, and timezone. Every site must be assigned to a country, which determines which types of APs can be deployed at this site. A site is either FCC compliant or ROW compliant, depending on the country selected. A site that is ROW compliant can accept only AP models ending in 'ROW'. A site that is FCC compliant can accept only AP models ending in 'FCC'. The country assigned to a site has no effect on which types of switches can be added to the site.
4. Select each of the following tabs to configure a new site. For an existing site, select only the tabs whose configuration you want to change.
