Displaying Floors with Non-Assigned APs and Empty Floors

that are associated with the floor plan. If you have imported or created a floor plan that is not yet
associated with devices or if you are using a floor plan for an empty floor, you can still display the floor
plan:
•
To display a floor plan with place-holder icons, select the device group Non-Assigned APs.
•
To display a floor plan for an empty floor, select the device group Empty Floor.
Use Case: Importing A Floor Plan with Unknown APs

plan that incorporated different APs from those that you are using now. In either case, the APs are
unknown to ExtremeCloud Appliance.
To import an existing floor plan and update the associated APs:
