Usage Guidelines
The AP provisioning profile allows you to define a set of provisioning parameters to an AP group. These settings can
be saved or assigned to an AP group via the command ap-group <group> provisioning-profile <profile>.
In order to enable cellular uplink for a remote AP (RAP), the RAP must have the device driver for the USB data card
and the correct configuration parameters. ArubaOS includes device drivers for the most common hardware types, but
you can use the usb commands in this profile to configure a RAP to recognize and use an unknown USB modem
type.

Command Description
provision-ap
Change provisioning parameters for an individual AP. This command does not save the
provisioning parameters settings in a reusable profile.
Example
The following commands create a provisioning profile named profile_branch, in which the cellular link is the primary
uplink because it has a higher priority than the Ethernet link:
(host) (config) #ap provision-profile profile_branch
link-priority-cellular 2
link-priority-ethernet 1
usb-type acm
usb-modeswitch "-v 0x106c -p 0x3b06 -V 0x106c -P 0x3717 -M
