Configuring Large Networks

Each Access Point configuration is characterized by two types of parameters:
Common parameters that must be the same for ALL Access Points in your
network, and
Unique parameters that must be unique for each Access Point in your
network.
In larger networking organizations, it may become quite cumbersome to copy
the common parameters to each of the Access Points in the network in order to
provide consistency throughout the entire network. As the number of Access
Points increases, the risk of errors (e.g. as a result of typos) may increase as well.
Inconsistent values for common parameters, or duplicate values for the unique
parameters may have unpredictable effects on the performance of your network.
Document the configuration settings of your network in detail to avoid
configuration mismatches.
Therefore, we recommend that you create a template file that contains all of the
common parameter settings that apply to every Access Point within the network.
