Subscribe an Access Point to a Site

Applies To: WatchGuard Cloud-managed Access Points (AP130, AP230W, AP330, AP332CR, AP430CR, AP432)

You can use an access point site to configure multiple cloud-managed access points with the same wireless configuration. For information about how to manage access point sites, see Manage Access Point Sites.

After you create the site configuration, you can subscribe access points to the site. When you subscribe or unsubscribe an access point from a site, you immediately deploy the site configuration to the cloud for the access points to download. Each time you deploy an update to a site, subscribed access points receive the new site configuration.

To subscribe an access point to a site, use one of these methods:
