The Configuration tab displays the following details:
Index Displays the WLAN’s numerical identifier. The WLAN index range
is from 1 to 256. An index can be helpful to differentiate a WLAN
from other WLANs with similar configurations.
Enabled Refer to the Enabled parameter to discern whether the specified
WLAN is enabled or disabled. When enabled, a green check mark
displays. When disabled, a red "X" displays. To enable or disable a
WLAN, select it from the table and click the Enable or Disable
button.
ESSID Displays the Service Set ID associated with each WLAN. Click the
Edit button to modify the value to a new unique SSID.
Description Displays a short description of the associated WLAN. Click the Edit
button to modify the value the WLAN description.
VLAN Displays the name of the VLAN the WLAN is associated with. The
VLAN ID is an integer assigned for the corresponding user defined
name. The VLAN ID can be between 1 and 4094. The default VLAN
ID is 1.
Authentication Displays the type of authentication used with the specified WLAN.
Click the Edit button to modify the WLAN’s current authentication
scheme. For information on configuring an authentication scheme
for a WLAN, see Configuring Authentication Types on page 4-33.
Encryption Displays the type of wireless encryption used on the specified
WLAN. When no encryption is used, the field displays "none". Click
the Edit button to modify the WLAN’s current encryption scheme.
For information on configuring an authentication scheme for a
WLAN, see Configuring Different Encryption Types on page 4-50.
Independent Mode Determines whether the WLAN is functioning as an independent or
extended WLAN in regards its support of adaptive AP (AAP)
operation.
Independent WLANs (defined by a green checkmark) are local to an
AAP and configured from the switch. Specify a WLAN as
independent for no traffic to be forward to the switch. Independent
WLANs behave like WLANs as used on a a standalone access
point.
Extended WLAN (defined by the default red X) are typical
centralized WLANs created on the switch.
Select an existing WLAN to revise its default extended mode
designation if intending to use the WLAN for AAP support. For
more information, see
Editing the WLAN Configuration on page 4-27.
QOS Weight Defines the Quality of Service weight for the WLAN. WLAN QoS
will be applied based on the QoS weight value with higher values
assigned priority. The range for QoS. weight values is between 1
and 10 with 1 being the default value.
