Parameter Description
Profile Name Give a mnemonic name for the new profile to simplify the management of system
configuration.
SSID Specify a SSID to identify current virtual AP.

coming from the associated user clients:

Central Switching: The user data traffic is concentrated to WLC through a
data tunnel, and then forwarded to the Internet.

Local Switching: The user data traffic bypasses WLC and is forwarded
directly from the thin AP to the Internet.
Service VLAN Assign a service VLAN ID for the virtual AP according to its SSID requirement. Note,
that the VLAN must be an available VLAN created in
[Network > VLAN Creation] .
Wireless Security There are three types of wireless security provided for virtual AP to select:

Open System: When the wireless client associates to this VAP, only the
SSID is used for authentication, and authentication does not require
encryption.

WPA2-PSK: When the wireless client associates to this VAP, it will be
authenticated by WPA2, and the authentication will be encrypted by the
preset PSK key.

WPA2&Radius: When the wireless client associates to this VAP, it will be
authenticated by WPA2, and the authentication will be encrypted using a
temporary key generated by the Radius server instead of a preset key such
as WPA2-PSK.
