This is just one acces point, in the space I currently run 4 ap=E2=80=99s = (but i could be a much larger number.. ) where a push the configs from the router to the ap=E2=80=99s. The = current space has 300 square meter, but i would not surprise me if that triples in the coming years=E2=80=A6 This is = config has: - ip adresses - ssid - channels - ssh-keys - remote syslog - ntp - sysctl And since it has key, there is a small shell script that mounts /cfg/ = and copies of a tarbal with that config, so there is also a backup / restore mechanism. and later maybe: - bsnmp to get en set values - tx power management (smaller cell and more ap when need) - auto up and down scaling combined with the sensor net or clients per = ap=E2=80=A6 - auto cycling password=E2=80=99s for the guest work (bottom on the wall = and a lcd screen... - sflow - mqtt posts for clients per network - maybe maybe :: radius authentication - mqtt-snmp bridge to drive PoE-switch related to information for the = sensor netwerk cheers Marten --Apple-Mail=_D83766DE-8110-4381-B739-CB369DCDA4B3 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: Message signed with OpenPGP using GPGMail -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: GPGTools - https://gpgtools.org iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJW4fsKAAoJEDVSpuKT0yUE4wcH/jF+KMvL2AKPAwHj0DSmcHZ9 pH3FAIkUAHg1fnoOY0Wuf2WMKVGvgdu3gZ9Ll/Vjxl3LTFbrl6AtQZqhHbfggHdz Hm0siMiuWyJjaaCKLkVNC+IHEzNfXnaTgU56OTAgkhvfGLEz9MQ6kMD6kmk0yfT8 TCraC5TjLrVOFcY3rsi77wi/hVdsl1F74kd/UozdVLPEUsR5LXGL3Kk8MJd/pvlD ALBRR7pb4fbeyuETDJPPTqiURndzdKcRf87wAhIPzLTYfzo+75mCoB+miM9lmEH7 jpVZE4hijcax+9oO+wyk8bcDilCStgTzCpQqpFXfXZTX9yyJ2lksXsQbNBp8kOg= =0c2/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Apple-Mail=_D83766DE-8110-4381-B739-CB369DCDA4B3--
