Examples

Example 1: AP profile with AWIPS threat detection and rogue detection enabled for secure environments:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    ap_profiles:
      - name: SECURE_AP_PROFILE
        description: Secure AP profile with threat detection
        awips_enabled: true
        awips_forensic_enabled: true
        rogue_detection: true
        rogue_detection_min_rssi: -90
        rogue_detection_transient_interval: 300
        rogue_detection_report_interval: 60
        pmf_denial_enabled: true

Example 2: AP profile with mesh networking and calendar-based power scheduling for outdoor deployments:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    ap_profiles:
      - name: MESH_OUTDOOR_PROFILE
        description: Outdoor mesh AP profile with power scheduling
        mesh_enabled: true
        bridge_group_name: OUTDOOR
        backhaul_client_access: true
        range: 5000
        ghz5_backhaul_data_rates: 802.11ac
        rap_downlink_backhaul: "5 GHz"
        ap_power_profile_name: LOW_POWER
        calendar_power_profiles:
          - power_profile_name: NIGHT_POWER_SAVE
            scheduler_type: DAILY
            scheduler_start_time: "22:00"
            scheduler_end_time: "06:00"
        country_code: US
        time_zone: Controller

Note: AP Profiles define device-level settings for Access Points. They are linked to Wireless Network Profiles via Site Tags (catalystcenter_wireless_profile_site_tag), not directly to the Wireless Profile resource. Calendar power profiles require a pre-existing AP Power Profile to be referenced by power_profile_name.

Example 3: AP profile with 802.1X authentication linked to a Wireless Network Profile via a Site Tag:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    ap_profiles:
      - name: DOT1X_AP_PROFILE
        description: AP profile with 802.1X authentication
        auth_type: EAP-TLS
        ssh_enabled: true
        management_user_name: admin
        management_password: AdminPass123
        management_enable_password: EnablePass123
        cdp_state: true
        client_limit: 500
        time_zone: Controller
  network_profiles:

          - name: CORPORATE_SSID
            enable_fabric: true
        sites:
          - Global/HQ/Building_A
          - Global/HQ/Building_B
        site_tags:
          - name: HQ_SECURE_TAG
            ap_profile_name: DOT1X_AP_PROFILE
            sites:
              - Global/HQ/Building_A
              - Global/HQ/Building_B
