I forgot to mention that you leave the original colorcode in the sm as
well. Once all the sm's are recoded, you apply the new colorcode plan to
the ap's and reboot them all at once.

Hey sterling,
Yeah the SMs can have multiple color codes but the APs can only have
1.� I plan on putting the 3 best "new" color codes in the SMs and
then the fourth CC I'll put the current tower color� code.� The trick
is gathering all the data from the SMs.
It's hurting my brain thinking about the best way to accomplish this

I seem to recall doing that often years ago, but not sure if there
is an easier way other than manually.

I know JAB had written a very nice platform to do something like
this with Canopy, again, years ago.

Hi Gang,
�
due to historical reasons that are no longer valid we currently
have 1 color code assigned to all APs per tower.� I'd like to
move to 1 color code per AP.� However, this would require first
gathering all the data from the SMs as to which AP is their best,
which is second best and which is third best (we often have
multiple APs aimed in almost the same direction).� We have
hundreds of APs and thousands of SMs so having a monkey log into
each SM and log this data would probably take a couple lifetimes haha.

Before I go hire someone to write some scripts and create a
database to get this project going, I was wondering if any of you
have already done this and if you have any software tools you'd be
willing to share/sell.
�
Also if anyone else is thinking of doing this would you want to go
in on the development together? (if no one else has accomplished this)

thanks,
