association with the profile.
Folders provide a way to organize the visibility of device parameters that is
separate from the configuration groups of devices. Using folders, you can
view basic statistics about device, and define which users have visibility to
which device parameters.
Name Blank Enter the name of the profile.

For those APs that need to boot off the local controller, configure the LMS
IP address to point to the new local controller.
Backup LMS IP N/A Enter the IP address of the backup LMS controller.
LMS Preemption No The AP fallback feature allows an AP associated with the backup controller
(backup LMS) to fail back to the primary controller (primary LMS) if it
becomes available. Enable LMS preemption with this field.

Important: If you create more than one mesh cluster profile for an AP or
AP group, each mesh cluster profile must use the same band.
Double Encrypt No The double encryption feature applies only for traffic to and from a wireless
client that is connected to a tunneled SSID. When this feature is enabled,
all traffic (which is already encrypted using Layer-2 encryption) is re-
encrypted in the IPSec tunnel. When this feature is disabled, the wireless
frame is only encapsulated inside the IPSec tunnel. All other types of data
traffic between the controller and the AP (wired traffic and traffic from a
split-tunneled SSID) are always encrypted in the IPSec tunnel.
