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
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
Figure 73
shows.
Figure 73: Applying the AP Profile
The
Profile Status
field can have one of the following values:
•
Associated
—The profile is configured, and one or more APs managed by the switch are associated with this profile.
•
Associated-Modified
—The profile has been modified since it was applied to one or more associated APs; the profile
must be re-applied for the changes to take effect.
•
Apply Requested
—After you select a profile and click
Apply
, the screen refreshes and shows that an apply has been
requested.
•
Apply In Progress
—The profile is being applied to all APs that use this profile. During this process the APs reset, and
all wireless clients are disassociated from the AP.
•
Configured
—The profile is configured, but no APs managed by the switch currently use this profile.
Note:
When you change the VLAN ID for a wireless network, the AP might temporarily 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.
Note:
When you apply new AP Profile settings to an AP, the access point stops and restarts system processes. If
this happens, wireless clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point
settings when WLAN traffic is low.
Note:
You associate a profile with an AP in the Valid AP database.
