I want to propose an improvement to the XIQ documentation, let's take the URL https://extremecloudiq.com/support/US_East.html or equivalent for other RDCs.
The document in question only presents the basic requirements for onboarding the AP in XIQ, but lacks important additional information for daily operation, even in "static" configurations such as PSK, where there is no dependency on external services such as RADIUS, LDAP, Syslogs and other management protocols.
In the case of usage statistics, ping to 8.8.8.8 and to the gateway needs to be allowed, as well as ping between the AP's Management IP and the clients (which are usually located in different VLANs). This information is available in some KB articles, but there is no consolidated document with all the information.
As an example of good practice, we have the documentation for the XIQ-C and XIQ-SE controllers, which have an entry in the Release Notes or Requirements for Configuration Guide detailing all protocols used, the direction of communication (whether mandatory or optional), and their purpose.
This may be laborious at first, but it should be easy to maintain over time, greatly facilitating implementations in environments where security personnel require attention to every detail in the communication flow.
