Wireless LAN Configuration
This section defines the wireless network parameters that are most aptly suited to the
Spectralink phones.
It is required to have separate SSID for the Spectralink phones and other data clients. Also,
certain parameters need to be modified to allow seamless interoperability of Spectralink phones
in and off-call with Aruba’s Adaptive Radio Management (ARM) mechanism. Aruba OS
accomplishes this by creating independent profiles for the SSID definition, radio definition and
ARM definitions before tying them together to an AP-group on which they would operate. This
way, all APs configured to be part of the AP-group will have the same operational parameters.
The steps in this procedure are below
1 Create an SSID profile – each SSID profile is characterized by the ESSID and the
authentication-encryption scheme.
2 Create a HT-SSID profile (with 802.11n features disabled) and assign the HT-SSID to
the SSID profile.
3 Create a Virtual-AP profile that ties the SSID profile and authentication profile (created in
the previous section) with a VLAN on the wired-side.
4 Create Radio-profiles for the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio. This would include ARM and HT-
Radio profile settings. In this example, we modify the default radio profiles which are
assigned to the Virtual-AP automatically.
5 Associate the Virtual-AP with an AP-group.
The WLAN configuration for 802.1X authentication is identical to that for PSK-based
authentication except for the following 2 points
In Creating a SSID-profile, op-mode on the SSID should be set to wpa2-aes.
The AAA profile for the Virtual-AP should be set to the newly created dot1x profile
(spectralink-dot1x).
On CLI
Creating a SSID-profile
(Aruba651) #configure terminal wlan ssid-profile view
For None (open network – no security) #opmode opensystem
For WEP
(Aruba651) (SSID Profile “view”) #opmode static-wep
(Aruba651) (SSID Profile “view”) #weptxkey <index 1-4>
(Aruba651) (SSID Profile “view”) #wepkey<index> <”string of hex
characters”>
