RF Profile vs Global Configuration

fdharmawan — Thu, 21 Mar 2024 01:23:19 GMT

Hi Guys,

I want to enable client threshold traps, so if exceeds a certain amount of client that is being handled by the AP, PI will send an alert stating that the AP might be overload. On the WLC, I found the setting on RF profile, but could not find it on global config.

Upon evaluating the RF profile, there are some settings that can be adjusted. Some settings I can find it in the global config, but some of them are missing, either it is only available on the RF profile or only on the global config. For example, the TPC config is very limited on RF profile compared to the global config.

There are some questions that I still cannot find the answer
1. If I enable RF profile, what happens to the settings that is configured on the global config?
2. For the config that are overlapping, which one will win, RF profile or global config?
3. For config that are not present on RF profile, will the settings from the global config kicks in?

Please advise. Thank you.

Hi,

1 settings from RF profile have highest priority.

2 settings from global config come after RF profile settings.

Hello

RF profiles can superseed what is set globally.

But to my understanding, there is a condition. First, RF profile inherits their attributes from global settings then they can modify it.

For example, if you set a mandatory data rate globally, the RF profile will retreive it then you can change it.

This concept is exposed here : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/technotes/8-3/b_RRM_White_Paper/rf-profiles.html

Quick question. What about when we see APs with Custom Power Assignment.
I just want to make sure all WAPs from my warehouse to use the same RF Profile.
If only change from Custom to "Global", will they inherit RF Profile settings?
They are already associated to correct RF Tag. Only point is that someone configured static power levels but we want all of them to trust on RRM now, using our pre-defined RF Profiles.

Thanks in advance!
