Configuring a Virtual AP
This section includes examples of how to create virtual APs for a specific AP as w ellas for t he “default”A P group,
which includesall APs disc overedby the controller. The configuration in this example contain the followingWLANs:
lAn 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Corpnet” that uses WPA2 and is available on all APs in the network
lAn 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Guest” that uses open system and is o nlyavailable on the AP “building3-lobby”
(this AP will support both the “Co rpnet” and “Guest” SSIDs)
Each WLAN requiresa different SSID profile that maps into a separate virtual AP profile. For the SSID “Corpnet”,
which will use WPA2, you need to configure an AAA profile that includes 802.1x authenticati on and an 802.1x
authentication server group.
Because allAP s discovered by the controllerbelong to the AP group called “default”, you assign the virtualA P profile
that contains the SSID profile “Corpnet” to the “default” AP group. For the “Guest” SSID, you configurea new
virtualA P profilethat you assign to the AP named “building3-lobby”.Table 86 lists the profiles that you need to
modify or create for these examples.
