AP7632 (firmware 5.9.1.5-001R) a few questions

[Ivaylo]

Hello everybody!

I am new to the world of extreme AP`s and i have a few questions 🙂

I have 3 types of Ap`s- 6521,7622 and 7632. I updated the firmware to  5.9.1.5-001R on all of them.

Also have 2 VC - one 6521 and one 7622.

6521 are wing express and they cant see the 7622 and 7632, which are only WING.

7622 sees only 7622 ap`s.

7632 sees all the AP`s.

1st question - can i make all app`s to be adopted by only 1 VC (for instance the 7622 VC, because its interface is not so difficult to understand).

2nd question - can i make the 7632 VC to adopt all other ap`s, and if it is possible, please tell me how to make a guest wi-fi on 7632.

Hello!

Can you please tell me how to do it?

2  things you may want to look at:

1 - Add a rule to allow access to the default gateway and place it before the first deny rule

2 - If the DNS server is on the same subnet, move the DNS rule to before the first deny rule. 

Test one at a time. 

I hope this helps,

Chris

Hello again.

I followed the steps in WiNG Internet-Only guest WLAN and created the guest ssid and added it in RADIO 1, but it has no internet, only local connection.

How to enable the internet in the guest wi-fi?

I will have two VC, because i have no chice. The 7632 ap will become vc for 7632 and 7622 ap`s.

Hello Ivaylo,

The following link will provide you with the VC adoption hierarchy for heterogeneous APs:

https://extreme-networks--c.na101.visual.force.com/articles/Q_A/Can-a-WiNG-virtual-controller-adopt-...

Other links in there may be of help to you as well.  

Upon looking at the adoption hierarchy, It does not seem like the AP7622 APs can be adopted by a AP7632 or AP7662. The AP65xx APs cannot be adopted any other model AP.  

In your situation and for ease of management I would recommend looking into using a controller. 

It is not recommended to have more than one virtual controller on the same subnet. Your mint stats may be affected. 

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

Chris
