Creating, Configuring, and Managing AP Profiles
Access point configuration profiles are a useful feature for large wireless networks with APs that serve a variety of different
users. You can create multiple AP profiles on the D-Link Unified Switch to customize APs based on location, function, or
other criteria. Profiles are like templates and, once you create an AP profile, you can apply that profile to any AP that the
Unified Switch manages.
For each AP profile, you can configure the following features:
• Global RADIUS settings
• MAC authentication list
• Radio settings
• Network settings
• QoS configuration
Figure 70 shows ten APs that are managed by a D-Link Unified Switch in a campus network. Each building has multiple APs,
and the users in one building have different network requirements than the users in other buildings. The administrator of this
WLAN has created two AP profiles on the switch in addition to the default profile.
Building 2
AP Profile: Engineering
AP Profile: Marketing
Building 1 contains the main lobby and several conference rooms. The WLAN users in this location are primarily non-
employees and guests. The APs in Building 1 uses the default AP profile with no additional networks and no security.
