4. Click Apply. The profile name appears in the Mesh Radio Profile list with your configured settings. If you
configure this for the AP group, this profile also becomes the selected radio profile used by the mesh portal
for your mesh network.
5. Click the Delete button by the name of the profile you want to delete.
Managing Mesh Radio Profiles in the CLI
You must be in config mode to create, modify, or delete a mesh radio profile using the CLI. Specify an existing
mesh 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 Mesh Radio Profile
Configuration details and any default values for each of these parameters are described in Table 127. 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 mesh radio profile mode.

You can also create a new mesh radio 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.
(host)(config) #ap mesh-radio-profile <profile-name> clone <source-profile-name>
Assigning a Mesh Radio Profile to a Mesh AP or AP Group
To associate a mesh radio profile with an AP group, use the following commands. When you add the mesh
cluster profile to the AP group, you must also define the cluster priority.
(host)(config) #ap-group <group>
mesh-radio-profile <profile-name> priority <priority>
To associate a mesh radio profile with an individual AP:
(host)(config) #ap-name <name>
mesh-radio-profile <profile-name> priority <priority>
The following examples assign the mesh cluster profiles cluster1 and cluster2 to two different AP groups. In
the AP group group1, cluster1 has a priority of 5, and cluster2 has a priority of 10, so cluster1 has the
higher priority. In the AP group group2, cluster1 has a priority of 10, and cluster2 has a priority of 5, so
cluster5 has the higher priority.
(host)(config) #ap-group group1
