In the CLI
Use the following command to assign a single AP to an existing AP group. Use the WebUI to assign multiple APs
to an AP group at the same time.
ap-regroup {ap-name <name>|serial-num <number>|wired-mac <macaddr>} <group>
Understanding AP Configuration Profiles
An AP configuration profile is a general name to describe any of the different groups of settings that can
defined, saved, and applied to an Access Point. ArubaOS has many different types of profiles that each allow
you to configure a different aspect of an AP’s overall configuration. ArubaOS also contains a predefined
“default” profile for each profile type. You can use the predefined settings in these default profiles, or create
entirely new profiles that you can edit as required.
Each different AP configuration profile type can be managed using the CLI or the WebUI. To see a full list of
available configuration profiles using the command-line interface, access the CLI and issue the command show
profile-hierarchy. To view available configuration profiles using the WebUI, select the Configuration tab in
the and navigate to Advanced Services > All Profiles.
The All Profiles tab arranges the different AP configuration profile types into the following categories:
l AP Profiles
l RF Management Profiles
l Wireless LAN Profiles
l Mesh Profiles
l QoS Profiles
l IDS Profiles
l HA Group profiles
l Other Profiles
The profile types that appear in the All Profiles tab may vary, depending upon the controller configuration and
available licenses.
AP Profiles
The AP profiles configure AP operation parameters, radio settings, port operations, regulatory domain, and
SNMP information.
l AP system profile: defines administrative options for the controller, including the IP addresses of the
local, backup, and master controllers, Real-time Locating Systems (RTLS) server values and the number of
consecutive missed heartbeats on a GRE tunnel before an AP reboots. For details on configuring this profile,
see Optional AP Configuration Settings.
l Regulatory domain: defines the AP’s country code and valid channels for both legacy and high-
throughput 802.11a and 802.11b/g radios. For examples on figuring a regulatory domain profile, see
Configuring AP Channel Assignments on page 566.
l Wired AP profile: determines if 802.11 frames are 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). In tunnel forwarding mode, the AP handles all 802.11 association requests and responses,
but sends all 802.11 data packets, action frames and EAPOL frames over a GRE tunnel to the controller for
processing. When a remote AP or campus AP is in bridge mode, the AP handles all 802.11 association
