Create a Device Profile

Use device profiles as you would a template to define and apply a common set of AP configurations to APs in the same site.

To assign a device profile to a domain:

  1. Click Organization > Device Profiles in the Mist portal. The Device Profiles screen appears.
  2. Click Create Profile to start a new profile. Or, to edit an existing profile, select it from the list.

    To save time, you can clone an existing profile and make modifications to the copy.

  3. Give the profile a name.
  4. Under Applies To, click the link to select the APs you want to attach the profile to.

    • Use the search box to find APs by model type or MAC address in the site or organization.
    • To see a list of APs currently included in the profile, select APs in the profile.
    • If no APs appear in the list, you most likely need to adopt or claim them from your Access Point Inventory. In the Mist menu, click Access Points and then click the Inventory button in the upper-right corner of the screen to show and claim an AP.
  5. Click OK to attach the device profile to the APs you've selected.
  6. Fill out the remaining configuration choices on the page as needed.
  7. Click Save at the top of the screen when you are done.
