site Commands

create

<named-site>
This section describes commands used to define and configure sites at which an authentication server
is local and have greater autonomy than wireless stations in a network based on centralized controllers
and authentication. These commands are located in the site context of the CLI. Execute the
command at the root level to enter site context. Refer to "Configuring Sites" in the Wireless User Guide
for detailed information about the use of sites and site configuration.
A site consists of APs, topologies, policies, Class of Service (CoS), and RADIUS servers that together
define a site. A site can use any policy or CoS defined on the controller. Bridged at AP, Bridged at
Controller, or Routed topologies defined on the controller are valid for sites, although the survivability
benefit of sites is best enhanced in Bridged at AP topologies. Sites are assigned to WLAN Services in
the same manner as AP load groups. When an AP is assigned to a site, the controller pre-loads the AP
with the configured topologies, policies, CoS, and RADIUS server configurations of the site. The AP can
then use these configurations independently of the controller.
All CLI commands cache changes. For this reason, sometimes when you make a change in a particular
context, the change may not be visible immediately. If this happens, you must exit and re-enter the
context in order to ensure that the database is synchronized with the latest change.
The site context was introduced with V8.11.
The following commands are available in the site context:
•
