Specify a threshold value to limit the number of incoming probe requests. When a
client sends a broadcast probe request frame to search for all available SSIDs, this
option controls system response for this network profile and ignores probe

Configuring VLAN settings for a WLAN SSID profile
If you are creating a new SSID profile, complete the WLANsettings procedure before configuring VLAN. For
information, see Configuring WLAN settings on page 23.
To configure VLAN settings for an SSID:
1. In VLAN, select any of the following options for CLIENT IP ASSIGNMENT:
l Virtual Controller Assigned — On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address from the VC. The
VC creates a private subnet and VLAN on the AP for the wireless clients. The network address translation
for all client traffic that goes out of this interface is carried out at the source. This setup eliminates the need
for complex VLAN and IP address management for a multi-site wireless network. For more information on
DHCP scopes and server configuration, see DHCP configuration on page 65.
l Network Assigned — Select this option to obtain the IP address from the network.
2. If Network Assigned is selected, specify any of the following options for the CLIENT VLAN ASSIGNMENT.
l Default — On selecting this option, the client obtains the IP address in the same subnet as the APs. By
default, the client VLAN is assigned to the native VLAN on the wired network.
l Static — On selecting this option, you need to specify a single VLAN, a comma separated list of VLANS, or
a range of VLANs for all clients on this network. Select this option for configuring VLAN pooling.
l Dynamic — On selecting this option, you can assign the VLANs dynamically from a DHCP server. To create
VLAN assignment rules:
a. Click New to assign the user to a VLAN. The NEW VLAN ASSIGNMENT RULE pane is
displayed.
b. Enter the following information:
l ATTRIBUTE — Select an attribute returned by the RADIUS server during authentication.
l OPERATOR — Select an operator for matching the string.
l STRING — Enter the string to match.
l VLAN — Enter the VLAN to be assigned.
3. Click Next to configure security settings for the employee network. For more information, see Configuring
security settings for a WLAN SSID profile on page 27.
