Configuring MAPs 233

Fingerprint Log Message

If MAP encryption is optional, and a MAP whose fingerprint has not been verified in MSS establishes a management session with the WX, MSS generates a log message such as the following:

AP-HS:(secure optional)configure AP M9DE48B012F00 with fingerprint c6:98:9c:41:32:ab:37:09:7e:93:79:a4:ca:dc:ec:fb

The message lists the serial number and fingerprint of the MAP. You can check this information against your records to verify that the MAP is authentic.

Configuring a Service A service profile is a set of parameters that control advertisement Profile (beaconing) and encryption for an SSID, as well as default authorization

attributes that apply to users accessing the SSID.

This section describes how to create a service profile and set some basic SSID parameters. To configure other service profile parameters, see the following:

„Chapter 13, “Configuring User Encryption,” on page 281.

„Chapter 15, “Configuring Quality of Service” on page 327

„“Configuring the Web Portal WebAAA Session Timeout Period” on page 477

„“Assigning SSID Default Attributes to a Service Profile” on page 493.

„Chapter 24, “Configuring SODA Endpoint Security for a WX Switch,” on page 543

(For a list of the parameters controlled by service profiles and their defaults, see Table 10 on page 202.)

(To display service profile settings, see “Displaying Service Profile Information” on page 259.)

Creating a Service Profile

To create a service profile and assign an SSID to it, use the following command:

set service-profile name ssid-name ssid-name

An SSID can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters long.
