CHAPTER 7 PROFILES
Profiles enable administrators to assign a common set of configuration parameters and policies to controllers and Access
Points. Profiles can be used to assign common or unique network, wireless and security parameters to Wireless Controllers
and Access Points across a large, multi segment site. The configuration parameters within a profile are based on the
hardware model the profile was created to support. The controller supports both default and user defined profiles
implementing new features or updating existing parameters to groups of Wireless Controllers or Access Points. The
central benefit of a profile is its ability to update devices collectively without having to modify individual device
configurations.
The system maintains a couple of default profiles. The default profile is applied to the wireless controller automatically,
and default AP profiles are applied to the APs that are automatically discovered by the wireless controller. After adoption,
if a change is made in one of the parameters in the profile, that change is reflected across all the APs using the same
profile.
User defined profiles are manually created for each supported Wireless Controller and Access Point model. User defined
profiles can be manually assigned or automatically assigned to Access Points.
• AP650 – Adds an AP650 access point profile
• AP7131 – Adds an AP7131 access point profile
• RFS4000 – Adds an RFS4000 wireless controller profile
• RFS6000 – Adds an RFS6000 wireless controller profile
• RFS7000 – Adds an RFS7000 wireless controller profile
Each default and user defined profile contains policies and configuration parameters. Changes made to these parameters
are automatically inherited by the devices assigned to the profile.
