Appendix: Virtual AP (Multi-SSID) FAQ Q1) What is mSSID?
Multi-SSID (mSSID) as the name suggest, allows an access point (AP)
with a single radio card to support more than one SSID.
Q2) What can you do with mSSID connection?
The application of mSSID is to provide better security with multiple
network path connections from a single AP, to multiple VLAN network
segments of the switch on the local area network.
A network setup application is illustrated below.
E.g.
Virtual AP with SSID: VAP1, VLAN ID: 10 and WPA-PSK wireless security
enabled will be channeled to Port 2 and Port 3 where the internet-
sharing router is connected.
Virtual AP with SSID: VPA2, VLAN ID: 20, WPA-EAP enabled, and
connected to a radius server, will be channeled to Port 5 and Port 6,
which are connected to the firewall of the internal local area network.
