Differences Between Ccsp and One WiFi Apply

settings:

Ccsp :

dmcli eRT setv Device.WiFi.Radio.2.X_CISCO_COM_ApplySetting bool true

dmcli eRT setv Device.WiFi.Radio.1.X_CISCO_COM_ApplySetting bool true

OneWiFi:

Any dmcli commands specific to SSID and AccessPoint execute the Below Access Point Related apply settings

dmcli eRT setv Device.WiFi.ApplyAccessPointSettings bool true

Any dmcli executions specific to Radio level use the below Radio apply settings command

dmcli eRT setv Device.WiFi.ApplyRadioSettings bool true
