Setting up tag groups for the detailed selection of APs

The following tutorial shows you how a tag group can be added to an AP configuration on a WLC. To do this, you first create a tag group and then assign it to a WLAN profile.

  1. Open the configuration dialog for your device and select WLAN controller > AP configuration > Tag groups
  2. Click on Add to create a new group.




  3. Under Name you enter the new tag and save the entry with OK.
  4. Navigate to the dialog with WLAN controller > AP configuration > Access point table.
  5. Select an existing AP profile with Edit or add a new one, if necessary.
  6. Under Groups select the tag group(s) created earlier.
    Multiple tag groups can be specified in a comma-separated list.
    Note: The tag groups are independent of the assignment groups, the assignment of which is specified in the same field. Assignment groups are generally assigned by the device, so this does not need to be done by the user. The manual allocation of an assignment group has no effect on the AP configuration, which is in line with the state check described under IP-dependent auto configuration and tagging of APs. The only effects are on the filtering in the command show capwap group at the console
    Important: The manual addition of assignment group for filtering purposes is not recommended. You should create separate tag groups instead.
  7. Close all dialog windows with OK and save the configuration to your device.

From now on the WLC gives the tags in the edited WLAN profile to those APs that received it.
