Configure the Wireless Controller to use the Profile

Before the wireless controller can be further configured, the profile must be applied to the wireless
controller.

rfs4000(config)#self

rfs4000(config-device-03-14-28-57-14-28)#

rfs4000(config-device-03-14-28-57-14-28)#use profile Brocade Mobility

RFS4000_UseCase1

rfs4000(config-device-03-14-28-57-14-28)#exit

rfs4000(config)#commit write

Create a WLAN

Use the following commands to create a WLAN:

rfs4000(config)#wlan 1

rfs4000(config-wlan-1)#

Configure the SSID for the WLAN. This is the value that identifies and helps differentiate this WLAN.

rfs4000(config-wlan-1)#ssid WLAN_USECASE_01

Enable the SSID to be broadcast so wireless clients can find it and associate.

rfs4000(config-wlan-1)#broadcast-ssid

Associate VLAN 2 to the WLAN and exit.

rfs4000(config-wlan-1)#vlan 2

rfs4000(config-wlan-1)#exit

Commit the Changes

Once these changes have been made, they have to be committed before proceeding.

rfs4000(config)#commit write

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:

Creating an AP Profile

A Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point’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 Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point:

rfs4000(config)#profile br650 Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point_UseCase1

rfs4000(config-profile-Brocade Mobility 650 Access Point_UseCase1)#

Assign the access point to be a member of the same VLAN defined in

“Creating an AP Profile”

on

page 1343. In this section, the VLAN was defined as VLAN 2. Configure the access point to be a
member of VLAN 2.
