Network Configuration Steps
The following is the basic workflow for setting up your network using ExtremeCloud Appliance:
Note
To ensure the devices discover ExtremeCloud Appliance, configure DHCP, NPS, and DNS
Services for ExtremeCloud Appliance discovery. For more information, see the ExtremeCloud
Appliance Deployment Guide located in the Extreme Networks documentation portal:
extremenetworks.com/documentation/extremecloud-appliance.
1
Create one or more sites.
Define the site as Centralized or Distributed and select a Country for the site. These options affect
the AP models and licensing domains associated with the site.
2 Configure one or more device groups for each site.
A device group is defined by the AP platform. It contains APs with the same model type. The
configuration Profile and RF Management profiles are defined at the device group level. The
available configuration options depend on the site definition: Centralized or Distributed and the AP
platform definition of the device group.
3 Configure one or more networks. When configuring a network, you will do the following:
a Define network authentication.
b Configure roles associated with the network.
c Configure VLANs associated with the network.
4 Configure Adoption Rules so that new APs are automatically assigned to the appropriate device
group based on factors such as AP platform, IP address, host name, or serial number.
5 (Optional) Configure additional roles.
6 Go back to each device group and associate the configured networks and the defined roles by
editing the assigned configuration Profile. Alternatively, you can associate the Profile with the
network or policy definition during the initial configuration of the network or role. For more
information, see
ExtremeCloud Appliance User Guide for version 4.36.03
