Configuring Virtual Cell Support for AP300 or AP400 with the
CLI
Virtual Cell is enabled by default on Meru APs. However, note that if you turn Virtual
Cell off at an AP300/AP400 radio then Virtual Cell is off for that radio, even if the
ESS in use has Virtual Cell configured. Both the radio and the ESS in use have to have
Virtual Cell enabled for the AP to use Virtual Cell. (This does not apply to AP1000.)
You can see the Virtual Cell setting by using the CLI command show interfaces
Dot11Radio. For example:
