Create a AP8533 Profile

Follow the steps below to configure an AP8533 profile:
  1. In the controller's global config mode, create a AP8533 profile.
    nx9500-6C8809(config)#profile ap8533 AP8533_UseCase1
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#
  2. Assign the profile to the VLAN defined in Creating a Wireless Controller Profile. In this section, the VLAN was defined as VLAN 2. When applied to the AP8533, this profile will configure the AP to be a member of VLAN 2.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#interface vlan 2
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#
  3. Configure this VLAN to use DHCP. Enabling DHCP on the VLAN ensures that devices associating using this access point are automatically assigned a unique IP address. Once completed, exit this context.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#ip address dhcp
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#exit
  4. Map the VLAN to a physical interface on the profile. In this example, VLAN 2 is mapped the GE1 interface. When applied to the AP8533, this profile will map VLAN 2 to the AP's GE1 port.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#interface ge 1
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-ge1)#switchport access vlan 2
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-ge1)#exit
  5. Map the WLAN to a radio on the access point. An AP8533 has 2 radios, in this scenario, both radios are mapped to WLAN '1' created earlier.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#interface radio 1
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-radio1)#wlan 1
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-radio1)#exit
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#interface radio 2
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-radio2)#wlan 1
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1-if-radio2)#exit
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#
  6. Commit the changes and exit.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#commit write memory
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8533_UseCase1)#exit
    nx9500-6C8809(config)#
  7. Apply this profile to the discovered AP8533.
    1. Use the discovered AP8533's MAC address to access the AP's configuration context, as shown here.
      nx9500-6C8809(config)#ap8533 00-A0-F8-00-00-01
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#
    2. Assign the profile to this AP8533access point.
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#use profile AP8533_UseCase1
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#commit write
    3. Apply the RF Domain profile to the AP.

      Apply the previously created RF Domainto enable a country code to be assigned to the discovered access point. A discovered access point only works properly if its country code is the country code of its associated controller.

      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#use rf-domain RFDOMAIN_UseCase1
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#commit write
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-A0-F8-00-00-01)#exit
      nx9500-6C8809(config)#
