Setting up a new VNS
Configure the new VNS (overview of basic steps)
1. Select the network assignment mechanism from the Assignment by drop-down list:
● SSID
● AAA
2. In the SSID box at the right, key in the SSID that the wireless devices will use to access
the Wireless AP.
3. Select the Wireless APs (by radio) to be assigned to this VNS. The displayed list of
available Wireless APs has a checkbox for each radio on the Wireless AP. Each radio on
a Wireless AP can be assigned to a maximum of four VNSs. When this maximum is
reached, the radio will no longer be available in this list.
4. Configure other options for this VNS: Allow Management Traffic, Use DHCP Relay, Use 3rd
Party APs, or Enable Priority Traffic Handling.
5. Define the DHCP settings for this VNS.
6. To save the new VNS Topology, click on the Save button.
When the new Topology has been saved, the screen displays tabs for Auth & Acct, RAD Policy,
Filtering, Multicast, and Privacy, for configuring these aspects of the new VNS.
Before you configure the VNS, you must first define the Global Settings.
