Wi-Fi Array
Configuring the Wi-Fi Array 241
12. Global: Check the checkbox if you want this SSID to use the security
settings established at the global level (refer to “Global Settings” on
page 223). Clear the checkbox if you want the settings established here to
take precedence. Additional sections will be displayed to allow you to
configure encryption settings, and RADIUS and RADIUS accounting
settings. The encryption settings are described in “Procedure for
Configuring Network Security” on page 224. The external RADIUS and
accounting settings are configured in the same way as for an external
RADIUS server (see “Procedure for Configuring an External RADIUS
Server” on page 227).
13. L3: For this SSID, Check the checkbox to enable fast roaming between
IAPs or Arrays at Layer 2 and Layer 3, or clear the checkbox to allow
roaming at Layer 2 only. You may only select fast roaming at Layers 2 and
3 if this has been selected in Global Settings (IAP). See “Understanding
Fast Roaming” on page 253.
14. WPR (Web Page Redirect): Check the checkbox to enable the Web Page
Redirect functionality, or clear it to disable this option. If enabled, WPR
configuration fields will be displayed under the SSID Limits section. This
feature may be used to provide an alternate mode of authentication, or to
simply display a splash screen when a user first associates to the wireless
network. After that, it can (optionally) redirect the user to an alternate
URL. For example, some wireless devices and users may not have a
correctly configured 802.1x (RADIUS) supplicant. Utilizing WPR’s Web-
based login, users may be authenticated without using an 802.1x
supplicant. See “Web Page Redirect Configuration Settings” on page 243
for details of WPR usage and configuration.
SSID Limits
See “Group Limits” on page 249 for a discussion of the interaction of SSID limits
and group limits. To eliminate confusion, we recommend that you configure one
set of limits or the other, but not both.
