lMesh high-throughputSSID profile—Enables or disables high-throughput(802.11n) features and 40 Mhz
channelusage, and define values for aggregatedMAC protocol data units (MDP Us) and Modulationand Coding
Scheme(MCS) ranges. If none of the AP s in your Mesh deployment are 802.11n-capable, you do not need to
configurea mesh high-throughput SSID profile. For additional information on configuring this profile, see
"Workingwith Mesh High Throughput SSID Profiles " on page 455 .
lMesh radio profile—Determines many of the settings used by mesh nodes to establish mesh links and the path
to the mesh portal, includingt hemaximum number of children a mesh node can accept, and transmit rates for
the 802.11a and 802.11g radios. For additional information on configuring this profile, see "Working with Mesh
Radio Profiles" on page 450.
lMesh cluster profile—Contains the mesh cluster name (MSSID), authentication methods, security credentials,
and clusterpriority . For additional information on configuring this profile, see "UnderstandingMesh Cluster
Profiles" on page 459.

Profile Hierarchy
ArubaOSWebUI includes several wizards that allow you t o configure an AP, controller, WLAN, or License
installation. You canalso co nfigureprofiles using the WebUI Profile list or via the command line interface.Best
practices is to configure the lowest-level settings first. For example, if you are defining a virtual AP profile,you
shouldfirst define a s ession policy, then define your servergroup, then create an AAA profile that referencesthe
session policy and your server group.
