Wireless Wireless configuration focuses on the configuration tasks (radio Configuration configuration and AAA configuration) you do to deliver the virtual
wireless services you want to provide on your network. You enable the MAPs to operate according to your planned RF coverage requirements. Most of the wireless configuration is done as you plan your RF coverage and create your radio profiles and service profiles.
A radio profile is used to apply common settings to multiple radios, and each radio profile can support up to 32 service profiles, one for each service you want to support. You specify in the service profile an SSID for each service and the type of encryption mechanisms to be used by the MAP radios. This gives the radio the potential to look like 32 different and independent MAPs. See Figure 7.
AP7250, AP8250, and AP8750 support up to eight service profiles per radio. AP2750 and AP3750 support up to 32 service profiles per radio.
