11Click Next. Type or select the name of the VLAN you want to place SVP users in. For this example, use voice-vlan.

Typing the VLAN name here does not actually configure the VLAN. To configure a VLAN, see “Set Up VLANs on WX Switches” on page 64.

12Click Create to add MAC users to the switch’s local database.

a In the User MAC Address box, type the MAC address for the user device, using colons (:) as delimiters. You must specify all 6 bytes of the MAC address.

b In the MAC User Group list, select the MAC user group that the user device belongs to, if the group is already configured.

c In the VLAN Name box, select or type the name of the VLAN that the user device belongs to (1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, with no spaces or tabs). The WX switch will authorize the user for that VLAN. For more information on VLANs, see “Viewing and Configuring VLANs” in the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.

d Click Next. In the attribute row you want to configure, click the Attribute Value column. (See the “Authorization Attributes” section in the “Configuring Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting Parameters” chapter of the Wireless LAN Switch Manager Reference Manual.)

e Click Finish.

13Click Next. Select RadioProfileVoic in the Radio Profiles list.
