Reference Relationships Between WLAN Profiles
Various profiles are designed based on different functions and features of WLAN networks to help users configure and maintain functions of WLAN networks. These profiles are called WLAN profiles. Figure 1 shows the referencing relationships between WLAN profiles. By getting to know these referencing relationships, you can easily grasp the configuration roadmap of WLAN profiles and complete their configurations.
As shown in Figure 1, the following profiles can be bound to AP groups and APs: regulatory domain profile, AP system profile, WIDS profile, AP wired port profile, WDS profile, radio profile, VAP profile, location profile, and Mesh profile. Some of the listed profiles can further reference other profiles, for example, the radio profile can reference an air scan profile and an RRM profile.
The profiles marked with * can be configured as default profiles.
An AP radio can directly reference some profiles, including the radio profile, VAP profile, WDS profile, WDS whitelist profile, Mesh profile, and Mesh whitelist profile.
- The IoT profiles are directly referenced in the IoT card interface view and are not displayed.
WLAN profiles are designed to facilitate configuration and maintenance of WLAN functions. When configuring WLAN service functions, users need to configure parameters in matching WLAN profiles. After completing the configurations, they need to bind the profiles to upper-level profiles, AP groups, or APs, and the configurations will be automatically delivered to APs. After that, the configured functions automatically take effect on the APs.
If a WLAN profile is bound to an upper-level profile, this upper-level profile should be bound to an AP group or AP.
For example, to configure air interface scan parameters, you can configure the parameters in an air scan profile and bind the air scan profile to a radio profile, which is then bound to an AP group or AP, as shown in Figure 1. The configurations of air interface scan parameters are automatically delivered to the AP group or AP and take effect. If referencing relationships between profiles are set in advance, parameter configurations in the air scan profile are automatically delivered to the AP group or AP.
