To create a new SSID/WLAN profile and policy profile on the Cisco C9800 Wireless Controller via the Command Line Interface (CLI), follow the steps outlined below:

Step 1: Access the Cisco C9800 Wireless Controller CLI

Connect to the Cisco C9800 Wireless Controller using SSH or a console cable and log in with the appropriate credentials.

Step 2: Create a new WLAN Profile

Use the following commands to create a new WLAN profile with the desired settings:

config wlan create <WLAN ID> <WLAN Name> <SSID>
config wlan ssid-profile <WLAN ID> security wpa wpa2 ciphers aes
config wlan security wpa akm 802.1x
config wlan security wpa wpa2 ciphers aes
config wlan security wpa wpa2 enable
config wlan security wpa wpa2 802.1x <RADIUS Server ID>
config wlan enable <WLAN ID>

Replace <WLAN ID>, <WLAN Name>, <SSID>, and <RADIUS Server ID> with the appropriate values for your network.

Step 3: Create a new Policy Profile

Use the following commands to create a new Policy Profile with the desired settings:

config policy profile create <Policy Profile Name>
config policy profile ssid <Policy Profile Name> add <WLAN ID>
config policy profile user <Policy Profile Name> add <User Role ID>

Replace <Policy Profile Name>, <WLAN ID>, and <User Role ID> with the relevant values for your network configuration.

Step 4: Apply the Policy Profile to an Interface

Apply the created Policy Profile to a specific interface using the following command:

config interface policy-profile <Interface Name> <Policy Profile Name>

Replace <Interface Name> with the name of the interface to which the Policy Profile should be applied.

Step 5: Verify the Configuration

Verify the configuration by checking the WLAN and Policy Profile settings using the following commands:

show wlan summary
show policy profile <Policy Profile Name>

This will display the configured WLAN and Policy Profile settings for verification.

By following these steps and using the provided CLI commands, you can create a new SSID/WLAN profile and policy profile on the Cisco C9800 Wireless Controller efficiently and effectively.
