3. In the Profile Details window pane, click the Mesh High-throughput SSID profile drop-down list and select
the name of the profile you want to edit.
4. Change the settings as desired. Table 41 describes the parameters you can configure in this profile.
5. Click Apply to save your changes.
Deleting a Profile
You can delete a mesh high-throughput SSID profile only if no APs or AP groups are associated with that profile.
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Advanced Services> All Profiles window.
2. Expand the Mesh menu, then select Mesh High-throughput SSID profile. A list of high-throughput SSID
profiles appears in the Profile Details window pane.
3. Click the Delete button by the name of the profile you want to delete.
Managing high-throughput SSID profiles using the CLI
You must be in config mode to create, modify or delete a mesh radio profile using the CLI. Specify an existing
high-throughput SSID profile with the <profile-name> parameter to modify an existing profile, or enter a new
name to create an entirely new profile.
Creating or Modifying a Profile
Configuration details and any default values for each of these parameters are described in Table 41 on page 211.
If you do not specify a parameter for a new profile, that profile uses the default value for that parameter. Put the
no option before any parameter to remove the current value for that parameter and return it to its default
setting.Enter exit to leave the high-throughput radio profile mode

You can also create a new mesh high-throughput SSID profile by copying the settings of an existing profile using
the clone parameter. Using the clone command to create a new profile makes it easier to keep constant
attributes in common within multiple profiles.
ap mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name> clone <source-profile-name>
Assigning a Profile to an AP Group
To associate a mesh high-throughput SSID profile with an AP group:
ap-group <group> mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>
To associate a mesh radio profile with an individual AP:
ap-name <name> mesh-ht-ssid-profile <profile-name>
