Configuring the AP System Profile

The AP system profile configuration settings are divided into four groups, General, LMS Settings, Remote AP and Advanced. The General, LMS Settings, and Remote AP sections of this profile include configuration settings that often need to be adjusted to suit a specific network. The Advanced tab includes settings that do not need frequent adjustment or should be kept at their default values.

The AP system profile can be enabled using SSH Secure Shell. SSH is a network protocol that provides secure access to a remote device. for high-end encryption. The AP provides a remote login function for each user to access the AP shell, SSH Secure Shell. SSH is a network protocol that provides secure access to a remote device. in such cases enables state-of-art encryption to avoid network attack or risk of malicious users. When an Aruba AP user establishes a remote login function using Linux, the AP uses Telnet to establish the connection. Now an Aruba AP can be connected using SSH Secure Shell. SSH is a network protocol that provides secure access to a remote device. protocol for security and high-end encryption.

For console access via SSH Secure Shell. SSH is a network protocol that provides secure access to a remote device. , the user name is root and the password will the be same the console password specified in the AP system profile.

The following procedure describes how to configure AP settings using the AP system profile:

  1. In the Managed Network node hierarchy, navigate to Configuration > System > Profiles tab.
  2. In the All Profiles list, expand the AP menu, then select AP system.
  3. Select the AP system profile you want to edit, or click + to create a new profile.
  4. Configure the profile parameters described in AP System Profile Configuration, then click Submit.
  5. Click Pending Changes.
  6. In the Pending Changes window, select the check box and click Deploy Changes.

To specify the server details to receive the core dump when an AP process crashes, select an AP system profile and click on Dump Collection. To allow the core dump files to be sent to the managed device, access the managed device command-line interface and issue the ap-crash-transfer command.
