aware that security being applied in the VLAN is not being applied in the wireless network.
12.Define the RADIUS Server Profile Configuration for the VLAN/SSID:
•
RADIUS MAC Authentication Profile
•
RADIUS EAP Authentication Profile

RADIUS Accounting Profile
If 802.1x, WPA, or 802.11i security mode is used, the RADIUS EAP Authentication Profile must have a value.
A RADIUS Server Profile for authentication for each VLAN shall be configured as part of the configuration options

associate all VLANs to that profile. Four profiles are created by default, “MAC Authentication”, “EAP
Authentication”, Accounting”, and “Management”.

Broadcast SSID and Closed System
Broadcast SSID allows the broadcast of a single SSID when the AP is configured for multiple SSIDs. Broadcast SSID
may only be enabled for a single SSID. This object can only be configured using the CLI and SNMP using a MIB browser
or network management application.
Closed System manages the way probe requests are handled. If enabled, the AP will respond to probe requests with an
SSID only if the client has specified the SSID in the probe request. If the client sends a probe request with a null or “ANY”
SSID, the AP will respond with a null SSID. If disabled, the AP will respond with each configured SSID, whether or not an
SSID has been specified in the probe request. This option is disabled by default.
