16 | Aruba Configuration in AWMS AirWave Wireless Management Suite | Configuration Guidez Aruba controllers and AP devices operate in Aruba AP Groups that define shared parameters for alldevices in those groups. The Device Setup > Aruba Configuration > Aruba AP Groups page displays allcurrent Aruba AP groups.z AP Override allows you to change some parameters for any specific device without having to create anAruba AP group per AP.z The name of any AP Override should be the same as the name of the device to which it applies.This establishes the basis of all linking to that device.z Once you have created an AP Override for a device in a group, you specify the WLANs to be included andexcluded.z For additional information about how to configure and use AP Overrides, refer to these topics: “AP Overrides Guidelines” on page 37 “Configuring or Editing AP Overrides” on page 37 “AP Overrides Pages and Field Descriptions” on page 52WLANs SectionAccess WLANs with Device Setup > Aruba Configuration > WLANs, illustrated in Figure 4.Figure 4 Device Setup > Aruba Configuration > WLANs NavigationThe following concepts govern the use of WLANs in Aruba Configuration:z WLANs are the same as virtual AP configuration profiles.z WLAN profiles contain several diverse settings to include SSIDs, referenced Aruba AP Groups, TrafficManagement profiles, and device Folders.This document describes WLAN configuration in the following section and chapter:z “Setting Up Initial Aruba Configuration” on page 24z “General WLAN Procedures and Guidelines” on page 33z “WLAN Pages and Field Descriptions” on page 56Profiles SectionProfiles provide a way to organize and deploy groups of configurations for Aruba AP Groups, WLANs, andother profiles. Profiles are assigned to folders; this establishes visibility to Aruba AP Groups and WLANsettings. Access Profiles with Device Setup > Aruba Configuration > Profiles, illustrated in Figure 5.
