Applying an AP Profile
After you update an AP Profile on the DWS-4000 Series 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.
Note:
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.
