Conguring a Service Prole
A service prole controls advertisement and encryption for an SSID. You can specify the
following:
• Whether SSIDs that use the service prole are beaconed
• Whether the SSIDs are encrypted or clear (unencrypted)
• For encrypted SSIDs, the encryption settings to use
• The fallthru authentication method for users that are not authenticated with 802.1X
or MAC authentication. The fallthru method can be last-resort or none.
The table below lists the parameters controlled by a service prole and their default values.
