Figure 3: Radio and Service Profiles
AP1
AP2
You must configure a radio profile to set attributes that you can apply to multiple radios. Rather than configuring each
radio individually, you create a radio profile and apply it to multiple radios that you select. You can also create a radio
profile as part of a policy and apply it to AP on different WSSs.
The radio profile can contain Auto-RF settings and IEEE 802.11 settings that control how the data is received and trans-
mitted. You can select Auto-RF in the radio profile to apply AutoRF settings (enable or disable auto tuning of power and
channels) to radios en masse via the radio profile. AutoRF enabled through the radio profile to multiple radios can be
easily disabled as well, should you want to go to full RF planning. You can set specific IEEE 802.11 settings, such as
beacon, DTIM intervals, and the fragment threshold to control how packets are transmitted.
Note.
A default radio profile named default is provided and cannot be deleted.
For each service you want to provide, configure the following items in a service profile:
• The SSID name
• SSID advertisement (whether the SSID name is beaconed)
• Whether the SSID name is encrypted or clear (not encrypted)
• Web page (if using Web-based AAA)
• Multiple encryption choices (Dynamic/static WEP, WPA, WEP + WPA, 802.11i)
Note.
You also must configure AAA security configuration items for each service. For
more information, refer to
The encryption type you use depends on the type of services you are offering. Employee access is typically encrypted,
guest access is typically clear (no encryption) and multi-host or "multiple virtualized services" service can be encrypted,
