You need to configure and maintain WLAN features and functions in different profiles. These WLAN profiles include regulatory domain profile, radio profile, VAP profile, AP system profile, AP wired port profile, WIDS profile, WDS profile, and Mesh profile. When configuring WLAN services, you need to set related parameters in the WLAN profiles and bind the profiles to the AP group or APs. Then the configuration is automatically delivered to and takes effect on the APs. WLAN profiles can reference one another; therefore, you need to know the relationships among the profiles before configuring them. For details about the profile relationships and their basic configuration procedure, see WLAN Service Configuration Procedure.
As shown in Figure 1, the enterprise's AC connects to the egress gateway (Router) and ASU certificate server, and connects to the AP through SwitchA. The WLAN with the SSID wlan-net is available for employees to access network resources. The gateway also functions as a DHCP server to provide IP addresses on the 10.23.101.0/24 network segment for STAs. The AC controls and manages STAs.
Because the WLAN is open to users, there are potential security risks to enterprise information if no security policy is configured for the WLAN. To meet enterprise's high information security requirement and implement bidirectional authentication between the WLAN clients and server, configure a WAPI security policy. Compared with WPA/WPA2, an ASU certificate server and WAPI encryption provide higher security for WLAN networks.

Configure port isolation on the interfaces of the device directly connected to APs. If port isolation is not configured and direct forwarding is used, a large number of unnecessary broadcast packets may be generated in the VLAN, blocking the network and degrading user experience.
In tunnel forwarding mode, the management VLAN and service VLAN cannot be the same. Only packets from the management VLAN are transmitted between the AC and APs. Packets from the service VLAN are not allowed between the AC and APs.
