Chapter 3 Configuring Multiple SSIDs

Configuring Multiple SSIDs

 

 

 

Command

Purpose

Step 5

 

 

vlan vlan-id

(Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network. Client

 

 

 

 

devices that associate using the SSID are grouped into this

 

 

 

 

VLAN. You can assign only one SSID to a VLAN.

Step 6

 

 

guest-mode

(Optional) Designate the SSID as your access point’s

 

 

 

 

guest-mode SSID. The access point includes the SSID in its

 

 

 

 

beacon and allows associations from client devices that do not

 

 

 

 

specify an SSID.

Step 7

 

 

infrastructure-ssid [optional]

(Optional) Designate the SSID as the SSID that other access

 

 

 

 

points and workgroup bridges use to associate to this access

 

 

 

 

point. If you do not designate an SSID as the infrastructure

 

 

 

 

SSID, infrastructure devices can associate to the access point

 

 

 

 

using any SSID. If you designate an SSID as the infrastructure

 

 

 

 

SSID, infrastructure devices must associate to the access point

 

 

 

 

using that SSID unless you also enter the optional keyword.

Step 8

 

 

interface dot11radio { 0 1 }

Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface to

 

 

 

 

which you want to assign the SSID. The 2.4-GHz radio is radio

 

 

 

 

0, and the 5-GHz radio is radio 1.

Step 9

 

 

ssid ssid-string

Assign the global SSID that you created in Step 2 to the radio

 

 

 

 

interface.

Step 10

 

 

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 11

 

 

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

You use the ssid command’s authentication options to configure an authentication type for each SSID.

 

 

 

See Chapter 6, “Configuring Authentication Types,” for instructions on configuring authentication

 

 

 

types.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use the no form of the command to disable the SSID or to disable SSID features.

This example shows how to:

Name an SSID

Configure the SSID for RADIUS accounting

Set the maximum number of client devices that can associate using this SSID to 15

Assign the SSID to a VLAN

Assign the SSID to a radio interface
