Applying an AP Profile
After you update an AP Profile on the Unified Switch, the changes are not applied to the access points that use that profile
until you explicitly apply the profile on the
WLAN> Administration > Advanced Configuration > AP Profile > Access
Point Profile Summary
page or reset the APs that use the profile.
To apply the profile changes to all access points that use a profile, select the profile and click
Apply
, as the following figure
shows.
Field
Description
Profile Name
The Access Point profile name you added. Use 0 to 32 characters. Only alphanumeric characters are
allowed. No special characters are allowed.
When you change the VLAN ID for a wireless network, the AP might temporary lose its DHCP-assigned IP
address when you apply the updated profile. If this occurs, the AP goes into Standalone mode. As soon
as the AP regains its IP address from the DHCP server on your network, it resumes normal operation as a
managed AP. You might also see this behavior when you enable or disable a VAP (SSID) and re-apply the
AP profile.
