User defined profiles are manually created for each supported controller, service platform and
Access Point model. User defined profiles can be manually assigned or automatically assigned to
Access Points using an AP Auto provisioning policy. AP Adoption policies provide the means to easily
assign profiles to Access Points based on model, serial number, VLAN ID, DHCP option, IP address
(subnet) and MAC address.
Brocade recommends user defined profiles in larger deployments using centralized controllers and
service platforms when groups of devices on different floors, buildings or sites share a common
configuration.
Each default and user defined profile contains policies and configuration parameters. Changes
made to these parameters are automatically inherited by the devices assigned to the profile.
Review existing profiles to determine whether a new profile requires creation, or an existing profile
requires edit or deletion.
To review the existing profiles:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Profiles from the Configuration tab.
3. Select Manage Profiles from the Configuration > Profiles menu.
