Display the currently configured AP profiles by navigating to
In AOS, related configuration parameters are grouped into a profile that you can apply as needed to an AP
group or to individual APs. This section lists each category of AP profiles that you can configure and apply
to an 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. To view and configure AP profiles, click the
Figure 41 AP Profiles in Aruba Configuration
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:
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
System" on page 83
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—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
AP Wired" on
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
SNMP—Defines and enables SNMP settings, to include community string and SNMP user profiles.
"Profiles > AP > SNMP" on
SNMP User—Sets the SNMP user name and authentication profile to support more general SNMP
profiles. Refer to
Profiles > AP > System
Using DNS, the remote AP receives multiple IP addresses in response to a host name lookup. Known as the
backup controller list, remote APs go through this list to associate with a controller. If the primary
controller is unavailable or does not respond, the remote AP continues through the list until it finds an
available controller. This provides redundancy and failover protection.
If the remote AP loses connectivity on the IPSec tunnel to the controller, the remote AP establishes
connectivity with a backup controller from the list and automatically reboots. Network connectivity is lost
during this time. You can also configure a remote AP to revert back to the primary controller when it
becomes available.To complete this scenario, you must also configure the LMS IP address and the backup
LMS IP address.
