Create an AP505 Profile

Follow the steps below to configure an AP505 profile:

1. In the NX9500's global config mode:
   

   nx9500-6C8809(config)#profile ap505 AP505_UseCase1
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_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 AP505, this profile will configure the AP to be a member of VLAN 2.
   

   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#interface vlan 2
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_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-AP505_UseCase1-if-vlan2)#ip address dhcp
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_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 AP505 access point, this profile will map VLAN 2 to the AP's GE1 and GE2 ports.
   

   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#interface ge 1
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-ge1)#switchport access vlan 2
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-ge1)#exit

5. Similarly configure the GE2 interface.
   

   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#interface ge 2
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-ge2)#switchport access vlan 2
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-ge2)#exit

6. Map the WLAN to a radio on the access point. An AP505 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-AP505_UseCase1)#interface radio 1
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-radio1)#wlan 1
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-radio1)#exit
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#interface radio 2
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-radio2)#wlan 1
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1-if-radio2)#exit
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#

7. Commit the changes made to the profile and exit.
   

   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#commit write
   nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-AP505_UseCase1)#exit
   nx9500-6C8809(config)#

8. Apply this profile to the discovered AP505.
   1. Use the discovered AP505's MAC address to access the AP's configuration context, as shown here.
      

      nx9500-6C8809(config)#AP505 94-9B-2C-13-40-38
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#

   2. Assign the profile to the AP505.
      

      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#use profile AP505_UseCase1
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#commit write

   3. Apply the RF Domain to the AP505.
      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-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#use rf-domain RFDOMAIN_UseCase1
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#commit write
      nx9500-6C8809(config-device-94-9B-2C-13-40-38)#Exit
      nx9500-6C8809(config)#
