User's Guide

New user-defined variables can be added to the Variables section by adding a variable in the CLI
Commands section when creating a new profile or editing an existing profile. Use the following format:
$[VARIABLE_NAME]
Once a variable is added to the CLI Commands section and the profile is saved, its name is displayed in
the Variables section with an empty default value. Only the following characters are supported in user-
defined variables:
A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and _
Below is a list of current extraction variables:

Expansion variables are used to include information from profiles that are configured in AirDefense. An
expansion variable will always end with _EXPANSION. For example, $
[WLAN_RADIO_CHANNEL_EXPANSION] is an expansion variable that includes configuration
information from WLAN Profiles, Radio Settings, and Channel Settings.
The Status column displays the status of the variable (inherited, overridden, or removed).
• Inherited—Variable is inherited from a higher network level. The inherited level is displayed in this
field.
• Overridden—Variable is overridden at the current network level.
• Removed—Variable is not used at the current network level. Removed variables are displayed in red
text.
