unconfigured VAPs for radios in AP radio mode on the VIRTUAL
ACCESS POINTS display frame on the INTERFACES screen.
You can view the settings that assign SSIDs (and associated
settings) for the radio’s VAPs in the VIRTUAL ACCESS POINTS
frame on the INTERFACES screen. The Edit button for each VAP
provides access to the fields that configure these settings.
Sections 3.3.4.1 through 3.3.4.5 describe the fields available
through the Edit buttons in the VIRTUAL ACCESS POINTS frame.
Section 3.3.4.6 provides step-by-step instructions to configure
them.
3.3.4.1 SSID
CAUTION: The net-
work is not fully
secure until the radio
SSIDs have been
changed from their de-
fault settings.
The service set identifier associated with each VAP is a unique
string of up to 32 characters included in the packet headers of
wireless traffic. SSIDs are used like passwords to identify
which devices can connect to the wireless network and to
determine the parameters of their access once they are
connected.
