Examples

Example 1: Basic 802.11be profile with default OFDMA and MU-MIMO settings enabled for standard Wi-Fi 7 deployments:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    dot11be_profiles:
      - name: WIFI7_STANDARD
        ofdma_down_link: true
        ofdma_up_link: true
        mu_mimo_down_link: true
        mu_mimo_up_link: true

Example 2: High-performance 802.11be profile with all advanced features enabled including OFDMA Multi-RU for maximum throughput in high-density environments:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    dot11be_profiles:
      - name: WIFI7_HIGH_PERFORMANCE
        ofdma_down_link: true
        ofdma_up_link: true
        mu_mimo_down_link: true
        mu_mimo_up_link: true
        ofdma_multi_ru: true

Example 3: Minimal 802.11be profile with only downlink features enabled for environments with asymmetric traffic patterns:

catalyst_center:
  wireless:
    dot11be_profiles:
      - name: WIFI7_DOWNLINK_ONLY
        ofdma_down_link: true
        ofdma_up_link: false
        mu_mimo_down_link: true
        mu_mimo_up_link: false
        ofdma_multi_ru: false

Note: 802.11be profiles are supported only on IOS-XE controllers running device version 17.15 or later. The profile will be pushed to the device’s “default-dot11be-profile”.
