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
The

Configuring Cisco IOS Templates
Cisco IOS access points have hundreds of configurable settings. AirWave 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 AirWave normal Group configuration pages. AirWave 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 AirWave Group configuration pages. Perform these steps to configure a Cisco
IOS Template for use with one or more groups, and the associated devices.
