Create an AP8432 Profile

Follow the steps below to configure a AP8432 profile:
  1. In the controller's global config mode, create a AP8432 profile.
    nx9500-6C8809(config)#profile ap8432 AP8432_UseCase1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_Us
  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 AP8432, this profile will configure the AP to be a member of VLAN 2.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#interface vlan 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_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-AP8432_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#ip address dhcp
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#exit
  4. Map the VLAN to a physical interface on the profile. In this example, VLAN 2 is mapped to the GE1 and GE2 interfaces of the AP profile. When applied to the AP8432, this profile maps VLAN 2 to the AP's GE1 and GE2 ports.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#interface ge 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-ge1)#switchport access vlan 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-ge1)#exit
  5. Similarly configure the GE2 interface.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#interface ge 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-ge2)#switchport access vlan 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-ge2)#exit
  6. Map the WLAN to a radio on the access point. An AP8432 has 3 radios (on certain models), two of which can be configured for WLAN support. In this scenario, two radios 1 and 2 are mapped to WLAN '1' created earlier. 
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#interface radio 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-radio1)#wlan 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-radio1)#exit
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#interface radio 2
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-radio2)#wlan 1
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1-if-radio2)#exit
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#
  7. Commit the changes made to the profile and exit this context.
    nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#commit write
nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP8432_UseCase1)#exit
nx9500-6C8809(config)#
  8. Apply this profile to the discovered AP8432.
    1. Use the discovered AP8432's MAC address to access the AP's configuration context, as shown here.
      nx9500-6C8809(config)#ap8432 00-23-68-16-C6-C4
nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#
    2. Assign the profile to the AP8432.
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#use profile AP8432_UseCase1
nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#commit write
    3. Apply the RF Domain to the AP8432.
      Apply the previously created RF Domain to 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 same as its associated wireless controller.
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#use rf-domain RFDOMAIN_UseCase1
nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#commit write
nx9500-6C8809(config-device-00-23-68-16-C6-C4)#Exit
nx9500-6C8809(config)#
