User's Guide

You should always apply a WLAN Profile at the appliance level. When you do, the profile is inherited for
all the other levels. Then, if you have a level that needs a dierent WLAN Profile, you can apply that
profile to that level. For example, in the above screen shot, the WLAN Profile for the appliance is the
Employee_WLAN_Profile and then for a special case you could override the WLAN Profile at the
ADSP level and apply the Guest_WLAN_Profile to the AirDefense network level.
Note
The Override settings option is available when you select (highlight) a network level below
the appliance level. Use the Expand button to reveal the other levels.
Note
You may select multiple WLAN Profiles by checking more than one checkbox.
In this case, the Employee_WLAN_Profile will only be accessible to corporate employees that have
the proper credentials while the Guest_WLAN_Profile will be available to guests visiting the
AirDefense facilities.
CLI Configuration
The Command Line Interface (CLI) for devices is a powerful tool that gives you direct access to APs and
switches. Use the CLI commands to configure and control how devices interface with your network.
Using AirDefense , you can create and update device configurations by revising the configuration files
and their CLI command set. You can use the default CLI profiles (configuration templates) or change the
profiles to meet the configuration requirements of your devices. This allows you to apply profiles to any
