The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product. Learn more about how Cisco is using Inclusive Language.

After you create up to 512 WLANs on the switch, you can selectively publish them (using access point groups) to different access points to better manage your wireless network. In a typical deployment, all users on a WLAN are mapped to a single interface on the switch. Therefore, all users that are associated with that WLAN are on the same subnet or VLAN. However, you can choose to distribute the load among several interfaces or to a group of users based on specific criteria such as individual departments (such as Marketing) by creating access point groups. Additionally, these access point groups can be configured in separate VLANs to simplify network administration.
How to Configure Access Point Groups
You must have administrator privileges to perform this operation.
1.
configure terminal
2.
ap group ap-group-name
3.
wlan wlan-name
4.
(Optional) vlan vlan-name
5.
end
This example shows how to create an AP group:
Switch# configure terminal Switch(config-apgroup)# ap group test-ap-group-16 Switch(config-wlan-apgroup)# wlan test-ap-group-16 Switch(config-wlan-apgroup)# vlan VLAN1300
You must have administrator privileges to perform this operation.
1.
ap name ap-name ap-group-name ap-group
You must have administrator privileges to perform this operation.
1.
show ap groups [extended ]
