to the “Corpnet” SSID to the “default” AP group. If you do not want the “Corpnet” SSID to be advertised on the AP in the lobby, you can specify the virtual AP profile that contains the “Corpnet” SSID configuration be excluded from that AP.

1.Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration > AP Specific page.

2.Do one of the following:

If the AP you want to exclude is in included in the list, click Edit for the AP.

If the AP does not appear in the list, click New. Either type in the name of the AP, or select the AP from the drop-down list. Then click Add.

Configuring a Virtual AP

This section includes examples of how to create virtual APs for a specific AP as well as for the “default” AP group, which includes all APs discovered by the controller. The configuration in this example contain the following WLANs:

An 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Corpnet” that uses WPA2 and is available on all APs in the network

An 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Guest” that uses open system and is only available on the AP “building3-lobby” (this AP will support both the “Corpnet” and “Guest” SSIDs)

Each WLAN requires a 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 authentication and an 802.1x authentication server group.

Because all APs discovered by the controller belong to the AP group called “default”, you assign the virtual AP profile that contains the SSID profile “Corpnet” to the “default” AP group. For the “Guest” SSID, you configure a new virtual AP profile that you assign to the AP named “building3-lobby”. Table 86 lists the profiles that you need to modify or create for these examples.
