ROFILES
There is no configuration on the thin AP (TAP). After power on, during the DHCP process, it discovers the WLC from the
DHCP Option 43 broadcast by the WLC. Then, the thin AP attempts to establish a CAPWAP management tunnel to the
WLC based on the IP address in DHCP option 43. After establishing a CAPWAP tunnel between the thin AP and WLC,
the thin AP requests and downloads a set of profiles from the WLC to complete the configuration of the thin AP. The
configuration files of the thin AP include Common Profile, Wireless Profile and VAP (virtual AP) Profile, which can be
combined to implement the provisioning of the thin AP.

ROUPING
We know that the thin AP is configured by downloading profiles from the WLC through the CAPWAP tunnel. However, if
a profile is used for only one thin AP, too many profiles are required to meet these requirements, thus occupying too
much space in the WLC. At the same time, the management and maintenance of profiles becomes a difficult task for
administrators. Therefore, it is necessary to divide the thin APs into different groups according to different attributes of
the thin APs, and the thin APs in a group share the same profiles to reduce the profiles number.
