    Hello all My first post to Airheads :) Newbie to this discussion group and only been on central for 6 months but not to Aruba wireless we have been using that for almost 2 decades.

    Now for the question at hand.  I'd like to turn off the USB power, but I am not finding a way to do this globally, I can only find it while in the specific AP. we don't use the USB for anything on any of our 600+ APs (we don't have a "large" campus, but we aren't small either) this can make going through every AP.   

    This also presents another configuration option that must be clicked/checked when provisioning new APs. Any hints or tips on this would also be helpful. 

    I need a less time-consuming way to make these changes. As I am the only one that manages the wireless here, and it isn't my only responsibility. 

    Pre-Central, I would just build a script or something similar and push it out to the controller, and it would be quick and painless.  Central doesn't seem to have a way to do CLI (other than wifidownunder.com and that can really break things :( we used that quite a bit when migrating to Central and broke things multiple times before giving up on most of the shortcuts/CLI offered there and just configuring things directly in central.
