Hi!

I have a WLC 5760 where I want to create an AP group in which I can customize the data rate and radios to use in this group.

For example, I would like to have an AP group where there is an SSID called "Production" where I can configure only the speed of 54 Mbps and only the 5 GHz radio.

Is it possible to do this configuration?

Data rate customization is a global setting in 5760 (no RF profile supported yet). Unless you have highly dense AP deployment, it is a good idea to make one of a lower data like 24Mbps rate mandatory, otherwise client may have difficult to maintain connectivity if they can't keep 54Mbps all the time. Here is how I configured it in my environment.

ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_6M disable
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_9M disable
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_12M disable
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_18M disable
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_24M mandatory
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_36M supported
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_48M supported
ap dot11 5ghz rate RATE_54M supported

You can restrict your SSID to 5GHz only like below

5760-1(config)#wlan Production
5760-1(config-wlan)#radio ?
  all      Configures the WLAN on all Radio bands
  dot11a   Configures the WLAN on 802.11a only
  dot11ag  Configures the WLAN on 802.11a and 802.11g only
  dot11bg  Configures the WLAN on 802.11b/g only (802.11b only, if 802.11g is
           disabled)
  dot11g   Configures the WLAN on 802.11g only

You can configure AP group & then map the SSID to required dynamic interface like below. later you can add APs to this group as required.

ap group Prod-APGroup
 wlan Production
  vlan xyz
!
5760-1#ap name AP-XX ap-groupname Prod-APGroup

Thank You so much Rasika!

Your answer was very helpful, I hope soon there RF profiles in WLC 5760.

Best Regards!

Yes, I would expect RF profile feature will add to this CA codes soon.
