With pre-association, a mobile device uses ANQP to perform network discovery. The mobile device's
connection manager uses hotspot information, such as the service provider policy and user preferences,
to automatically select a hotspot network. A mobile device queries the hotspot for key service provider
identification and authentication information and selects a network. The ANQP response is generated
using parameters configured by the hotspot operator.
Only one hotspot WLAN can be assigned to an AP and to a specific Profile configuration. The hotspot
WLAN can refer to a single Online Signup (OSU) WLAN, which can be open or encrypted. Network
operators define the filter policy during hotspot configuration.

Configure Hotspot
To configure a hotspot:
1. Go to Configure > Network > WLAN Services > Add.
2. From the Hotspot field, select Enable.
The Configure button displays.
3. Select Configure.
4. Configure the following settings:
HESSID
One SSID can be used across multiple WLANs (BSS), so the HESSID helps a client identify when
the BSSID belongs to a homogenous BSS with identical configuration. Beacon with same
{HESSID, SSID} pair belong to same WLAN. The {HESSID, SSID} pair must be unique for each
WLAN. By default, the HESSID is set to the MAC address of the controller Ethernet port.
Hotspots can have the same HESSID as long as the SSID is unique. If opting to configure the
HESSID manually, we recommend using an AP BSSID as the HESSID. In a mobility domain,
manually configure the HESSID to a unique value, dierentiating it from the value used in the
controller's WLAN.
Access Network
Identifies the type of network. Valid values are:
• Private network. An enterprise network with user accounts.
• Private network with guest access. An enterprise network providing guest access.
• Chargeable public network. (Default) Open to anyone but access requires payment.
• Free public network. Open network, free of charge but may still require acceptance of terms
of use (and may involve OSU servers with captive portal).
DGAF Disabled
Downstream Group-Address Forwarding Disabled. By default this option is checked. When
checked, the AP is not forwarding downstream group-addressed frames.
Select each tab to complete the hotspot configuration.
Note
All required fields on the selected tab must be filled out before you can select OK to save the
configuration.
