New WLANs automatically added to Default WLAN Group

[jamie_lidster_6]

When creating a new WLAN, it seems to automatically add and enable it on the Default WLAN Group. Is there a way to stop this from happening? It has the potential to end up broadcasting SSIDs on APs unintentionally.

Running 9.7.0

Thanks

Following my reply below, I've looked into this and it doesn't look like it's possible to pass a description to an AP via DHCP option. I can't see any other feasible way of easily setting a description to a large number of APs at the same time that are mixed up in the default AP group.

Can you advise how I'd go about raising a feature request please?

Thanks
Jamie

Hi Sid,

Thanks for the information. How is a description formed? Is it possible to give an AP it's description via dhcp option?

Thanks

Hi Jamie,

I'm working on an iPhone/iPad app that makes it easier for us to do minor quick tasks on the ZD, like moving APs to different groups, viewing wlans/-groups, aps and apgroups and there relationships, changing wlan ssids etc.

Your case might be an interesting one to add to the app.
Would you be interested in becoming a tester of the app and see if I can help you that way?

Basically what I'm thinking about is creating what I'd call "smart groups", where APs will automagically be moved to groups based on certain criteria.

Hi Jelle,

The app certainly sounds useful! I'm not sure I'd be able to test it for you I'm afraid - I can't imagine I'd get approval from the higher ups, based on risk management.

I'm interested to see how it turns out though. Sorry I can't test for you.
