CONFIGURING WIRELESS
PARAMETERS
This chapter describes how to configure the following wireless
parameters: SSIDs, service profiles, radio profiles, directly connected and
distributed MAP access points, and active RF scanning.
Overview This chapter describes how to configure the following wireless
parameters for WX switches:
■ Service Set Identifiers (SSIDs)
■ Service profiles, which enable or disable beaconing for an SSID and
define the encryption used for that SSID’s wireless traffic
■ Radio profiles, which assign IEEE 802.11 settings and a service profile
to radios
■ MAP access points
■ Active scanning for rogue devices
To set these parameters, you can use the Wireless page of the WX Switch
wizard. Figure 11 shows an example of this wizard page.
