Configuring Zone Settings on an IAP
All APs in a cluster use the same SSID configuration including master and slave IAPs. However, if you want to
assign an SSID to a specific IAP, you can configure zone settings for an IAP.
The following constraints apply to the AP zone configuration:
l An IAP can belong to only one zone and only one zone can be configured on an SSID.
l If an SSID belongs to a zone, all IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If no IAP belongs to the zone
configured on the SSID, the SSID is not broadcast.
l If an SSID does not belong to any zone, all IAPs can broadcast this SSID.
You can add an AP zone by through the UI or CLI.
For the SSID to be assigned to an IAP, the same zone details must be configured on the SSID. For more
information on SSID configuration, see Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile on page 93.
