I've been following the old Smartzone Network-Design-with-NAT guide and something I'm trying to wrap my head around is the AP Connection behaviour when both internal and NAT addresses are reachable.Preferably, we'd like to have new APs out of the box, reach out over the public internet to download firmware and initial configurations. Their Zone/APGroup config should inform them to switch management to another VLAN which has access to the internal IPs of the SZs in the cluster.Is this possible?
