This section documents radio interface configuration parameters applicable only to the access point profiles and devices.
The new AP4XX access points are tri-radio access point models.
The AP5XX access points are dual radio access point models.
To enter the AP's interface context, issue the following commands:
<DEVICE>(config)#profile <AP-TYPE> <PROFILE-NAME> nx9500-6C8809(config)#profile ap505 test505 nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-test505)# nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-test505)#interface radio 2 nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-test505-if-radio2)# nx9500-6C8809(config-profile-test505-if-radio2)#?
