140 | Virtual APs Dell PowerConnect W-Series ArubaOS 6.1 | User Guide
When you assign a profile to an individual AP, the values in the profile override the profile assigned to the AP
group to which the AP belongs. The exception is the virtual AP profile. You can apply multiple virtual AP profiles
to individual APs, as well as to AP groups.
You can exclude one or more virtual AP profiles from an individual AP. This prevents a virtual AP, defined at the
AP group level, from being applied to a specific AP. For example, you can apply the virtual AP profile that
corresponds to the “Corpnet” SSID to the “default” AP group. If you do not want the “Corpnet” SSID to be
advertised on the AP in the lobby, you can specify the virtual AP profile that contains the “Corpnet” SSID
configuration be excluded from that AP.
