Profiles
Understanding Dell Networking W Configuration Profiles
In AOS, related configuration parameters are grouped into a profile that you can apply as needed to an AP group or to
individual APs. This section lists each category of AP profiles that you can configure and then apply to an AP group or
to an individual AP. Note that some profiles reference other profiles. For example, a virtual AP profile references SSID
and AAA profiles, while an AAA profile can reference an 802.1x authentication profile and server group.
You can apply profiles to an AP or AP group.
Browse to the Device Setup > Dell Networking W Configuration page, and click the Profiles heading in the
