Using AP-Specific Variables
When a template is applied to an AP all variables are replaced with the corresponding settings from the APs/
Devices > Manage configuration page. This enables AP-specific settings (such as Channel) to be managed
effectively on an AP-by-AP basis. The list of used and available variables appears on the template detail
configuration page. Variables are always encapsulated between % signs. The following example illustrates this
usage:
hostname %hostname%
…
interface Dot11Radio0
…
power local cck %CCK_POWER%
power local ofdm %OFDM_POWER%
channel %CHANNEL%
…
The hostname line sets the AP hostname to the hostname stored in AWMS.
The
power lines set the power local cck and ofdm values to the numerical values that are stored in AWMS.
Configuring Cisco IOS Templates
Cisco IOS access points have hundreds of configurable settings. AWMS enables you to control them via the
Groups > Templates configuration page. This page defines the startup-config file of the devices rather than
using the AWMS normal Group configuration pages. AWMS no longer supports making changes for these
devices via the browser-based page, but rather uses templates to configure all settings, including settings that
were controlled formerly on the AWMS Group configuration pages. Perform these steps to configure a Cisco IOS
Template for use with one or more groups, and the associated devices.
