Cloud Managed Networks

Now that New Central is generally available, it's worth getting familiar with one of its core concepts: the Hierarchical Configuration Model. It's designed to make managing networks across multiple sites much simpler by using reusable profiles and policies. This reduces day‑to‑day admin work, keeps configurations consistent, and scales well for larger deployments. 

This technote (New Central Configuration for AOS10 Access Points - Bridge Mode) builds on the previous one, where I covered migrating Instant APs to AOS10 and retrieving the AOS10 configuration from Classic Central. Here, the focus is on configuring AOS10 WLANs in Bridge mode using the relevant profiles in New Central.

Hope you'll find it useful and as always please send through your feedback for improvement.

Hi Ariyap.

Another great technote. I just yesterday compile something like that for myself so I will not forget something during deployment :-)

Best, Gorazd

Thanks Gorazd, I had quite a few request for them.

I have other New Central technotes in the pipeline, just need a bit of time to bring it together.

I hope you also plan how to configure WiFi GW soon :-).

Currently I'm having quite a struggle adding GW into Central On-Prem automatically.

Best, Gorazd
