Wireless
Configuration
Wireless configuration focuses on the configuration tasks (radio
configuration and AAA configuration) you do to deliver the virtual
wireless services you want to provide on your network. You enable the
MAPs to operate according to your planned RF coverage requirements.
Most of the wireless configuration is done as you plan your RF coverage
and create your radio profiles and service profiles.
A radio profile is used to apply common settings to multiple radios, and
each radio profile can support up to 32 service profiles, one for each
service you want to support. You specify in the service profile an SSID for
each service and the type of encryption mechanisms to be used by the
MAP radios. This gives the radio the potential to look like 32 different and
independent MAPs. (See Figure 5.)
