Performing Advanced Configuration

NOTE

If you have two or more SSIDs per interface using a security Profile with a security mode of Non Secure, be
aware that security being applied in the VLAN is not being applied in the wireless network.

13. 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 for
that VLAN. RADIUS profiles are independent of VLANs. The user can define any profile to be the default and
associate all VLANs to that profile. Four profiles are created by default, “MAC Authentication”, “EAP Authentication”,
Accounting”, and “Management”.
14. Reboot the AP.

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.
To enable Closed System, click on Interfaces > Wireless-A or Wireless-B and check the Enable Closed System
box.
