Chapter 9 SSID Screen

9.1.2 What You Need To Know About SSID

The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

When the NWA is set to Access Point, AP + Bridge or MBSSID mode, you need to choose the SSID profile(s) you want to use in your wireless network (see Section 8.3 on page 123 for more information on operating modes).

To configure the settings of your SSID profile, you need to know the Media Access Control (MAC) addresses of the devices you want to allow access to it.

Each SSID profile references the settings configured in the following screens:

Wireless > Security (one of the security profiles)

Wireless > RADIUS (one of the RADIUS profiles)

Wireless > MAC Filter (the MAC filter list, if activated in the SSID profile)

Wireless > Layer 2 Isolation (the layer 2 isolation list, if activated in the SSID profile)

Also, use the VLAN screen to set up wireless VLANs based on SSID

Configure the fields in the above screens to use the settings in an SSID profile.
