requests and responses, encryption/decryption processes, and firewall enforcement. In split-tunnel mode,
802.11 frames are either tunneled or bridged, depending on the destination (corporate traffic goes to the
switch, and Internet access remains local). For details, see Configuring Ethernet Ports for Mesh on page 624
n AP LLDP-MED Network Policy and AP LLDP profiles:link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), is a Layer-2
protocol that allows network devices to advertise their identity and capabilities on a LAN. The LLDP-MED
Network Policy profile defines the VLAN, priority levels, and DSCP values used by a voice or video
application. Wired interfaces on Alcatel-Lucent APs support LLDP by periodically transmitting LLDP Protocol
Data Units (PDUs) comprised of selected type-length-value (TLV) elements. The AP LLDP profile identifies
which TLVs will be sent by the AP. For details, see Understanding Extended Voice and Video Features on
page 964.
n Ethernet interface profile:sets the duplex mode and speed of the AP’s Ethernet link. The configurable
speed is dependent on the port type, and you can define a separate Ethernet Interface profile for each
Ethernet link. For details on configuring this profile, see Table 125.
n Ethernet Interface Port/Wired Port Profile: specifies a AAA profile for users connected to the wired
port on an AP.
n AP Provisioning profile: defines a group of provisioning parameters for an AP or AP group. For details on
configuring this profile, see .
n AP Authorization Profile—Allows you to assign an to a provisioned but unauthorized AP to a AP group
with a restricted configuration profile. For details see Configuring Remote AP Authorization Profiles on page
722.
n EDCA parameters profile (Station):client to AP traffic prioritization parameters, including Enhanced
Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) parameters for background, best-effort, voice and video queues. For
additional information on configuring this profile, see Using the WebUI to configure EDCA parameters on
page 943.
n EDCA parameters profile (AP): AP to client traffic prioritization, including EDCA parameters for
background, best-effort, voice and video queues. For additional information on configuring this profile, see
Using the WebUI to configure EDCA parameters on page 943.
n Spectrum Local Override Profile:configure an individual AP radio as a spectrum monitor, For details, see
Converting an Individual AP to a Spectrum Monitor on page 755.
RF Management Profiles
The profiles configure radio tuning and calibration, AP load balancing, and RSSI metrics.
n 802.11a radio profile: defines AP radio settings for the 5 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive
Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. For additional
information on configuring this profile, see 802.11a and 802.11g RF Management Profiles on page 558.
n 802.11g radio profile: defines AP radio settings for the 2.4 GHz frequency band, including the Adaptive
Radio Management (ARM) profile and the high-throughput (802.11n) radio profile. Each 802.11a and
802.11b radio profile includes a reference to an Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) profile.
If you want the ARM feature to dynamically select the best channel and transmission power for the radio,
verify that the 802.11a/802.11g radio profile references an active and enabled ARM profile. If you want to
manually select a channel for each AP group, create separate 802.11a and 802.11g profiles for each AP
group and assign a different transmission channel for each profile. For additional information on
configuring this profile, see 802.11a and 802.11g RF Management Profiles on page 558.
n ARM profile: defines the Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) settings for scanning, acceptable coverage
levels, transmission power and noise thresholds. In most network environments, ARM does not need any
adjustments from its factory-configured settings. However, if you are using VoIP or have unusually high
security requirements you may want to manually adjust the ARM thresholds. For complete details on
Adaptive Radio Management, refer to Adaptive Radio Management on page 450.
