Configuring APs 293

ration is the Auto-AP profile mode. The Auto-AP profile is disabled by default. To use the Auto-AP profile to
configure Distributed APs, you must enable the profile. (See “Enabling the auto-AP profile” on page 294.)
APs 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 294.)

Changing AP parameter values

The commands for configuring AP and radio parameters for the Auto-AP profile are the same as the
commands for configuring an individual Distributed AP. Instead of specifying a Distributed AP number with
the command, specify auto. For more information about the syntax, see the “AP Commands” chapter of the
Nortel WLAN Security Switch 2300 Series Command Line Reference.
