Usage Guidelines
Wireless LAN profiles configure WLANs in the form of virtual AP profiles. A virtual AP profile contains an SSID
profile which defines the WLAN and an AAA profile which defines the authentication for the WLAN. You can
configure and apply multiple instances of virtual AP profiles to an AP group or to an individual AP.
A named VLAN can be deleted although it is configured in a virtual AP profile. If this occurs the virtual AP
profiles becomes invalid. If the named VLAN is added back later the virtual AP becomes valid again.
Example
The following command configures a virtual AP:
wlan virtual-ap corpnet
vlan 1
aaa-profile corpnet
rap-operation
Configures when the virtual AP operates on a remote AP:
always—Permanently enables the virtual AP.
backup—Enables the virtual AP if the remote AP cannot
connect to the controller.
persistent—Permanently enables the virtual AP after the
remote AP initially connects to the controller.
standard—Enables the virtual AP when the remote AP
connects to the controller.
Use always and backup for bridge SSIDs.
Use persistent and standard for 802.1x, tunneled, and split-
tunneled SSIDs.

If enabled, the AP denies client association requests if the
AP and client station have no common rates defined. Some
legacy client stations which are not fully 802.11-compliant
may not include their configured rates in their association
requests. Such non-compliant stations may have difficulty
associating with APs unless strict compliance is disabled.
