Use-Cases

Reuse Access Point Hardware

If an Access Point (AP) is decommissioned at one site and the same AP hardware is reused for another (new) AP at a different site, it will result in duplicate APs in SevOne NMS with the same IP address but a different hostname and both access points will poll.

Example

WiFi AP:tyo-ap1-FL7-S-36021-ad.sevone.com 10.90.103.39
WiFi AP:jap-ap3-FL7-N-37203-ad.sevone.com 10.90.103.39

In this situation, if an access point is decommissioned from a particular site, you must delete the device from NMS. If the same AP hardware is reused at another site, it will be rediscovered when it is installed. This will avoid duplication of access points in SevOne NMS.
