Using Global Groups with Master Console

To push configurations to managed groups using the AirWave Global Groups feature, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Master Console's Groups > List page.

2. Select Add to add a new group, or select the name of the group to edit settings for an existing group.

3. Select the Duplicate icon to create a new group with identical configuration to an existing group. Groups created

on the Master Console will act as Global Groups, or groups with master configurations that can be pushed out to

subscriber groups on managed AMPs. Global groups are visible to all users, so they cannot contain APs (which

can be restricted based on user role).

4. Selecting the name of an existing group on the Master Console loads the subtabs for Basic, Security, SSIDs,

AAA Servers, Templates, Radio, Cisco WLC Config, Proxim Mesh, and MAC ACL pages, if such pages and

configurations are active for the devices in that group.

These subtabs contain the same fields as the group subtabs on a monitored AMP, but each field also has a

checkbox. The Master Console can also configure global templates that can be used in subscriber groups. The

process is the same as described in the "Creating and Using Templates" on page 151, except that there is no

process by which templates can be fetched from devices in the subscriber group on managed AirWaves. Instead,

the template must be copied and pasted into the Master Console Global Group.

When a Global Group is pushed from the Master Console to subscriber groups on managed AirWaves, all settings

will be static except for settings with the checkbox selected; for fields with checkboxes selected, the value or setting

can be changed on the corresponding tab for each managed group. For list pages, override options are available only

on the Add page for each list. It will take several minutes for changes to Global Groups on the Master Console to be

pushed to the managed AirWaves; make sure that the Manage Group Configuration option is enabled for each

managed AirWave.

Once Global Groups have been configured on the Master Console, groups must be created or configured on the

managed AirWaves to subscribe to a particular Global Group. To configure subscriber groups, enable Use Global

Groups on the Group > Basic page of a group on a managed AirWave. Select the name of the Global Group from
