Figure 22. Add Access Point WLAN SSID Profile dialog box (top half)

Enter a unique name for the WLAN in the

WLAN SSID

field. (You cannot

create multiple SSIDs with the same name.)

To direct all traffic on the WLAN to a particular VLAN, enter an ID number in

the

VLAN ID

field. (If you aren’t using VLANs, enter 0 in this field.)

NOTE

If you’re setting up multiple WLAN SSIDs with different security

policies or multiple IP address spaces, the use of VLANs is highly

recommended.

To make the WLAN visible to users searching for wireless networks, choose

Enable

from the

Broadcast SSID

pull-down menu. (This should be enabled in

almost all instances.)

Make the VLAN operational by choosing

Active

from the

SSID Status

pull-

down menu. If

Active

is not chosen, the access point won’t announce the

SSID or respond to requests by clients to associate with the WLAN.

Specify WPA protection by choosing

WPA

from the

Security Policy

pull-down

menu.
