When you create a Wireless LAN using the mobility controller’s WLAN wizard, the mobility controller
automatically creates a Virtual AP profile (VAP) based on the Wireless LAN’s configuration.
The name the mobility controller assigns to the VAP is the name of the WLAN with “-vap_prof” appended to the name.
For example, the VAP for a Wireless LAN named “802.1X-CP” would be named “802.1X-CP-vap_prof.”

You can apply multiple virtual AP profiles to individual APs. You can also apply the same virtual AP profile to
one or more AP groups.
Configuring the Virtual AP Profile
To configure the Virtual AP profile:
1. On the mobility controller, navigate to Configuration > ADVANCED SERVICES > All Profiles.
2. Expand the Wireless LAN profile and select Virtual AP.
The list of existing Virtual AP profiles appears in the Profile Details pane.
3. Scroll to the Virtual AP profile based on the Wireless LAN you created, then select it.
l To configure an existing Virtual AP profile, select the name of the profile in the Profile Details pane.
l To create a new Virtual AP profile:
a) Enter a name for the profile in the entry field at the bottom of the Profile Details pane, then click
Add.
b) Select the name of the profile in the Profile Details pane.
Whenever you create a new virtual AP profile in the WebUI, the profile automatically contains the “default” SSID
profile with the default “Dell-ap” ESSID. You must configure a new ESSID and SSID profile for the virtual AP profile
before you apply the profile (for related information , see Adding an SSID to the Mobility Controller for 802.1X
Authentication on page 85).
The Virtual AP Profile configuration screen appears.
