Creating a SonicPoint VAP Profile
In this section, you will create and configure a new Virtual Access Point Profile. You can create
VAP Profiles for each type of VAP, and use them to easily apply advanced settings to new
VAPs. This section is optional, but will facilitate greater ease of use when configuring multiple
VAPs.
Step 1 In the left-hand menu, navigate to the SonicPoint > Virtual Access Point page.
Step 2 Click the Add... button in the Virtual Access Point Profiles section.
Step 3 Enter a Profile Name such as “Corporate-WPA2” for this VAP Profile.
Step 4 Select WPA2-AUTO-EAP from the Authentication Type drop-down menu. This will employ an
automatic user authentication based on your current RADIUS server settings (Set below).
Step 5 In the Maximum Clients field, enter the maximum number of concurrent connections VAP will
support.
Step 6 In the WPA-EAP Encryption Settings section, enter your current RADIUS server information.
This information will be used to support authenticated login to the VLAN.
Step 7 Click the OK button to create this VAP Profile.
