NX5500 auto provisioning

[OGB-NIKO]

Can someone tell me the steps to make sure auto provisioning is enabled in my nx5500 controller

Hello Niko,

I believe that Chris answered your questions but here’s an article on creating and enabling auto provisioning policies for your perusal: https://extremeportal.force.com/ExtrArticleDetail?an=000088755

Thank you

Okay, so if the circled “Auto-Provisioning Policy” drop-down listing was set to “none” then the auto-provisioning policy you created was NOT being used.

The auto-provisioning policy is mainly used during a deployment, so if you already have APs deployed and there’s no changes happening, then the auto-provisioning policy won’t be doing much or anything at all even if enabled.

But, if you are currently in the process or deploying APs, then yes, enabling auto-provisioning is helpful and I’d recommend re-enabling it.

You found it and yes it was set to no and none i found the policy that was created when i go to upgrade to 7.5.2 should i re-enable auto to make deployment easier ?

I’m not sure of what you are referring to with “auto”.

In the NX5500’s Profile, you simply need to have the auto-provisioning policy selected, as shown here.
