beenauthenticated and assign that client a specified user role. For more information on stateful Kerberos
authentication, see "ConfiguringStateful Kerberos Authentication" on page 2 24.
lStateful NTLM authentication Profile—Monitor the NTLM (NT LAN Manager) authentication messages
between clients and an authentication server.I f the client authenticates via an NTLM authentication server, the
controllercan recognize that the client has beenauthenticated and assign that client a specified userrole. or

Working with AP P rofiles
The AP profilesconfigure AP operation parameters, radios ettings,port operations, regulatory domain, andSNMP
information.
lAP system profile—Defines administrative options for the controller, includingt heI P addresseso f thelocal,
backup,and master Dell controllers, Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) server valuesand the number of
consecutive missed heartbeats on a GRE tunnel before an AP reboots. For details on configuring this profile, see
Table1 20.
lRegulatory domain—Defines the AP’s country code and valid channelsfor both legacy and high-throughput
802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. For examples on figuring a regulatory domain profile, see "ConfiguringAP Channel
Assignments" on page 435.
lWired AP profile—Determines if 802.11 framesare tunneled to the controller using Generic Routing
Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels,bridged into the local Ethernet LAN, or configured for a combination of the two
(split-mode).I n tunnelforwarding mode, the AP handlesall 802.11 association requests and responses, but sends
all80 2.11 data packets, action framesand EAP OLframes over a GRE tunnel to the controllerfor processing.
Whena remote AP or campus AP is in bridge mode,the AP handles all 802.11 association requests and
responses,encryption/decryption processes, and firewall enforcement. In split-tunnel mode, 802.11 frames are
either tunneledor bridged, dependingo nt hedesti nation (corporate traffic goes to the controller,and Internet
access remains local). For details, see "ConfiguringEthernet Ports for Mesh"on page 464
lEthernet interface profile—Sets the duplex mode and speed of the AP’s Ethernet link. The configurablespeed is
dependenton the port type, and you can definea separate Ethernet Interface profilefor each Ethernet link. For
details on configuringt his profile,see Table1 21.
lEthernet Interface Port/ Wired Port Profile—Specifies a AAA profile for users connected to the wired port on
an AP. For details on configuring this profile, see "Securing Clients on an AP Wired Port" on page 675
lAP Provisioning profile—Defines agroup of provisioning parameters foran AP or AP group. For details on
configuringthis profile,see Table 119 .
lAP Authorization Profile—Allows you to assign ant o aprovi sionedbut unauthorized AP to a AP group with a
restricted configuration profile.For detai ls see "ConfiguringRemote A P Authorization Profiles" on page 534.
lEDCA parameters profile (Station)—Client to AP traffic prioriti zation parameters,i ncludingEnhanced
Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters for background, best-effort, voice and video queues. For
additional information on configuring this profile, see "Using the WebUI to configure EDCA parameters" on
page 701.
lEDCA parameters profile (AP)—AP to client traffic prioriti zation, including EDCA parameters for background,
best-effort,voi ce and video queues. For additional information on configuring this profile, see "Using the WebUI
to configure EDCA parameters" on page 701.
Working with Qo S Profiles
The QoS profiles configure traffic managementand VoIP functions.
