Determine the Default VLAN
Each SSID is linked to a VLAN on the WFS709TP. Successful wireless client association to an AP places the user into the default VLAN specified by the SSID configuration. The default VLAN can be overridden by authentication server attributes; if you are authenticating a user to an external authentication server, the user VLAN can be based on attributes returned by the server during authentication.
Basic WLAN Configuration in the Browser Interface
The WLAN Basic Configuration page in the browser interface allows you to define many useful options that pertain to a specific SSID without having to navigate to other configuration pages. These options include:
•SSID
•Radio type: 802.11a, 802.11b/g, or 802.11a/b/g
•Layer 2 authentication and encryption type
•“Advanced” authentication features such as Captive Portal, VPN, and MAC authentication, in addition to Layer 2 authentication
•Authentication server: either RADIUS or the WFS709TP’s internal database
Note: If the authentication server is a RADIUS server, you can configure server parameters on the WLAN Basic Configuration page
•VLAN into which wireless clients are placed
When you configure a WLAN in the WLAN Basic Configuration page, the SSID will not be hidden in beacons sent by the AP. In addition, the system does not send the SSID in response to broadcast probe requests sent by clients.
Note the following about using the WLAN Basic Configuration page:
•The SSID configuration is global, that is, it applies to all APs in the network. If you need to configure a WLAN for a set of APs in a specific
