Profiles > Ap > Authorization - Dell PowerConnect W-Airwave Configuration Manual

AP group or to an individual AP. Note that some profiles reference other profiles. For example, a virtual AP
profile references SSID and AAA profiles, while an AAA profile can reference an 802.1x authentication profile and
server group. You can apply the following types of profiles to an AP or AP group:
Perform these steps to configure AP profiles.
1. Select the Profiles > AP profile heading in the navigation pane.
Figure 25
2. From the navigation pane, you can configure the following profile types. The following AP profiles configure
AP operation parameters, regulatory domain, SNMP information, and more:
Authorization—Allows you to assign a provisioned but unauthorized AP to a AP group with a restricted

configuration profile. Refer to
Ethernet Link—Sets the duplex mode and speed of AP's Ethernet link. The configurable speed is

dependent on the port type, and you can define a separate Ethernet Interface profile for each Ethernet
link. Refer to
Provisioning —Defines a group of provisioning parameters for an AP or AP group. Refer to

> Provisioning" on
Regulatory Domain—Defines an AP's country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-

throughput 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. Refer to
Wired Port—Allows you to enable or disable the wired port, define an AAA profile for wired port devices,

and associate the port with an ethernet link profile that defines its speed and duplex values. Refer to
"Profiles > AP > Wired Port" on
Wired—Controls whether 802.11 frames are tunneled to the controller using Generic Routing

Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels, bridged into the local Ethernet LAN (for remote APs), or a configured for
combination of the two (split-mode). This profile also configures the switching mode characteristics for
the port, and sets the port as either trusted or untrusted. Refer to
SNMP—Defines and enables SNMP settings, to include community string and SNMP user profiles.

"Profiles > AP > SNMP" on page
SNMP User—Sets the SNMP user name and authentication profile to support more general SNMP

profiles. Refer to
System—Defines administrative options for the controller, including the IP addresses of the local, backup,

and master controllers, Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) server values and the number of consecutive
missed heartbeats on a GRE tunnel before an AP reboots traps. Refer to

Remote AP configurations include an authorization profile that specifies which profile settings should be
assigned to a remote AP that has been provisioned but not yet authenticated at the remote site. By default, these
