Before defining a profile's interface configuration (supporting Ethernet port, Virtual Interface, port channel and access point radio configurations) refer to the following deployment guidelines to ensure these configuration are optimally effective:
Power over Ethernet is supported on RFS 4000 and RFS 6000 model controllers and NX 4524and NX 6524 model service platforms only. When enabled, the 802.3af PoE is supported on each ge ports.
When changing from a default DHCP address to a fixed IP address, set a static route first. This is critical when a controller or service platform is accessed from a subnet not directly connected and the default route was set from DHCP.
Take care not to modify an access point's configuration using its resident Web UI, CLI or SNMP interfaces when managed by a controller or service platform profile, or risk the access point having a configuration independent from the profile until the profile can be uploaded to the access point once again.
