RF Domain Overrides
Each WLAN provides associated wireless clients with a Service Set Identifier (SSID). This has
limitations, because it requires wireless clients associate with different SSIDs to obtain QoS and
security policies. However, a Brocade managed RF Domain can have WLANs assigned and
advertise a single SSID, but allow users to inherit different QoS or security policies. Use the
Override SSID screen to assign WLANs an override SSID as needed for the RF Domain.
Controllers and service platforms allow the mapping of a WLAN to more than one VLAN. When a
wireless client associates with a WLAN, it is assigned a VLAN in such a way that users are load
balanced across VLANs. The VLAN is assigned from the pool representative of the WLAN. Clients
are tracked per VLAN, and assigned to the least used/loaded VLAN. Client VLAN usage is tracked
on a per-WLAN basis.
To define an override SSID and override VLAN configuration used with a RF Domain:
1. From the RF Domain screen, either select the Add button or highlight an existing policy and
select Edit.
An existing policy can also be modified by selecting it directly from the RF Domain Browser.
2. Select the Overrides item from within the RF Domain screen.
