As a part of the virtual APprofile configuration procedure, you must identify which instance of each profile
type associates with the Virtual AP profile. By default, each Virtual AP profile is associated with the default
versions of the AAA, 802.11k, Hotspot 2.0 and SSID profiles. The Virtual AP profile can also associate with a
WMMtraffic management profile, but as no WMM profile is associated by default, one must be manually
configured.
To configure Virtual AP profile associations:
1. Navigate to Configuration > Advanced Services > All Profiles.
2. Expand the Wireless LAN menu.
3. Expand the Virtual AP menu.
4. Select the Virtual AP you want to configure. The list of associated profile types appears in the Profiles list.
5. If a plus [+] sign appears beside an associated profile category, there is more than one profile type in that
category. Select that profile category to display the associated profiles within that category.
6. To associate a different profile with the Virtual APprofile, click the name of the any currently associated
profile in the Profiles list.
7. Click the drop-down list at the top of the Profile Details pane and select a different profile to associate to
the Virtual AP.
8. Click Apply.
