Configuring DWL-8220AP Access Points
Changing the Fallthru Authentication Type
By default, MSS denies access to users who do not match an 802.1X or MAC authentication
rule, and therefore
fall through
these authentication types. You can change the
fallthru
method
to last-resort or web-portal.
To change the fallthru method, use the following command:
set service-profile
name
auth-fallthru
{
last-resort
|
none
|
web-portal
}
Configuring a Radio Profile
A radio profile is a set of parameters that apply to multiple radios. You can easily assign
configuration parameters to many radios by configuring a profile and assigning the profile to
the radios.
To configure a radio profile:
• Create a new profile.
• Change radio parameters.
• Map the radio profile to one or more service profiles.
The channel number, transmit power, and external antenna type are unique to each radio and
are not controlled by radio profiles.
Creating a New Profile
To create a radio profile, use the following command:
set radio-profile
name
[
mode
{
enable
|
disable
}]
Specify a name of up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Do not include the
mode enable
or
mode disable
option.
After you create the radio profile, you can use the
enable
and
disable
options to enable or
disable all radios that use the profile. To configure a new radio profile named
rp1
, type the
following command:
DWS-1008#
set radio-profile rp1
success: change accepted.
To assign the profile to one or more radios, use the
set ap radio radio-profile
command.
Changing Radio Parameters
To change individual parameters controlled by a radio profile, use the commands described
in the following sections.
Note:
You must disable all radios that are using a radio profile before you can change
parameters in the profile.
