About Airespace WLANsAires pace WLANs
The Airespace System can control up to 16 Wireless LANs for Airespace Access Points plus one WLAN
for Third-Party Access Points. Each WLAN has a separate WLAN ID (1 through 17), a separate WLAN
SSID (WLAN Name), and can be assigned unique security policies. A separate WLAN 17 can be created
for Third-Party Access Points
connected to a Model 4012 or 4024 Airespace Wireless Switch front panel
in Direct Connect Mode.
The Airespace APs broadcast all active WLAN SSIDs and enforce the policies defined for each WLAN,
while the operator-managed third-party APs broadcast the third-party AP SSID and enforce the oper-
ator-defined policies.
Note that many enterprises use different WLANs to separate traffic for different sections or
departments.
If Mgmt Via Wireless is enabled on a non-IPSec WLAN, the Airespace System operator can manage the
System across the enabled WLAN using CLI and Telnet (Airespace Command Line Interface
), http/https
(Airespace Web Browser Interface
), and SNMP (Airespace Control System Software).
To configure the Airespace WLANs, refer to Configuring WLANs
.
