26.1.3.4 Creating an AP Profile
Using the Command Line Interface to Configure the WLAN
An AP profile provides a method of applying common settings to access points of the same model. The profile significantly
reduces the time required to configure access points within a large deployment. For more information, see:

26.1.3.4.1Creating an AP650 Profile
Creating an AP Profile
An AP650’s firmware is updated directly by its associated wireless controller. The process is automatic, and no
intervention is required. To create a profile for use with an AP650:
RFS4000(config)#profile ap650 AP650_UseCase1
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#
Assign the access point to be a member of the same VLAN defined in Creating an AP Profile on page 26-10. In this section,
the VLAN was defined as VLAN 2. Configure the Access Point to be a member of VLAN 2.
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#interface vlan 2
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#
Configure this VLAN to use DHCP, so any device that is associated using this Access Point is automatically assigned a
unique IP address. Once completed, exit this context.
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#ip address dhcp
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#exit
The VLAN has to be mapped to a physical interface on the Access Point. Since the only available physical interface on the
AP650 is GE1, this VLAN is mapped to it.
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#interface ge 1
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-ge1)#switchport access vlan 2
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-ge1)#exit
Before a WLAN can be implemented, it has to be mapped to a radio on the Access Point. An AP650 has 2 radios, in this
scenario, both radios are utilized.
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#interface radio 1
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-radio1)#wlan 1
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-radio1)#exit
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#interface radio 2
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-radio2)#wlan 1
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1-if-radio2)#exit
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#
Commit the changes made to this profile and exit.
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#commit write
RFS4000(config-profile-AP650_UseCase1)#exit
RFS4000(config)#
Apply this Profile to the Discovered AP650
Access the discovered Access Point using the following command. The discovered device’s MAC address is used to access
its context.
RFS4000(config)#ap650 00-A0-F8-00-00-01
RFS4000(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#
Assign the AP profile to this AP650 Access Point.
