MAPs that receive their configurations from the Auto-AP profile also receive the radio settings from the radio profile used by the Auto-AP profile. Likewise, the SSIDs and encryption settings come from the service profiles mapped to the radio profile. To use a radio profile other than default, you must specify the radio profile you want to use. (See “Specifying the Radio Profile Used by the Auto-AP Profile” on page 222.)

Changing MAP Parameter Values The commands for configuring MAP and radio parameters for the Auto-AP profile are the same as the commands for configuring an individual Distributed MAP. Instead of specifying a Distributed MAP number with the command, specify auto.

For more information about the syntax, see the “MAP Commands” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch and Controller Command Reference.
