To add a new wireless LAN, perform these steps:

Step 1 Select a WLAN ID from the drop-down menu.

Note Cisco access points can support up to 16 WLANs per controller. However some Cisco access

points do not support WLANs that have a WLAN ID greater than 8. In such cases, when you

attempt to create a WLAN you get a message that says

"Not all types of AP support WLAN

ID greater than 8, do you wish to continue?".

Clicking OK creates a WLAN with the

WLAN ID that you selected.

Note The WLANs that are not assigned to the access points are denoted with an asterisk (*) symbol.

Step 2 Enter a text name for the WLAN in the WLAN SSID box. (This is the SSID broadcast name for the

WLAN.)

Step 3 Click the Apply button to bring up the WLANs > Edit page, where you can continue configuring the

WLAN.
