Managing Security Profiles and Profile
Groups
This chapter includes the following sections:
Note:
In this chapter and in the following chapters, access point profile
groups are referred to as just profile groups.
Profiles, security profiles, and SSIDs (that is, SSIDs with associated
security settings) are terms that are interchangeable.

Manage Wireless Security Profiles
Profiles are sets of configurations that you can apply to an access point. The configuration
includes radio parameters, load-balancing parameters, and rate-limit parameters. Each
wireless radio on an access point is capable of supporting 8 profiles. This means that the
dual-band WNDAP350 access point can support a total of 16 profiles. Therefore, in one
profile group on the wireless controller, you can configure up to 8 profiles for each radio, that
is, up to 8 profiles for the 2.4-GHz radio and up to 8 profiles for the 5-GHz radio.

Setting up profiles allows you to configure the WLAN network offline. Then, when the WLAN
network is up and running, you can push the configuration onto managed access points. You
can configure profiles and profile groups without taking the state of the access points into
consideration. When the access points connect to the controller, the profile configurations
are pushed onto the access points.
