SSID Manger Page
Use the SSID Manager page to assign SSIDs to specific radio interfaces. The
SSIDs that you create are enabled on all radio interfaces.
Table 32 - SSID Manager Parameter Descriptions
Parameter Description
Current SSID List Enter the unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the access point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple
wireless networks in the same vicinity. The SSID can be any alphanumeric, case-sensitive entry from 2…32 characters.
SSID The service set identifier (SSID) - also called the radio SSID - is a unique identifier that clients use to associate with the radio. You can add up to
16 SSIDs.
The following six characters are not allowed: +, ], /, ", TAB, and trailing SPACE. In addition, the following three characters cannot be the first
character: !, #, and ;.
VLAN A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by functions, project teams, or applications rather than on a physical or geographical
basis. For example, all workstations and servers used by a particular workgroup team can be connected to the same VLAN regardless of their
physical connections to the network or the fact that they can be intermingled with other teams.
Define VLANs This takes you to the Services>VLAN page. If you do not apply configuration changes before clicking this link the changes are lost. On this page
you set default VLANs and assign current VLANs and their ID and information. For instance, enterprise users can use different VLANs to
segregate employee traffic from guest traffic, and further segregate those traffic groups from that of high-priority voice. Traffic to and from
wireless clients with varying security capabilities can be segregated into VLANs with varying security policies.
Band-select Band selection enables the access point (capable of dual-band, 2.4 and 5 GHz) operation to move to a less congested 5 GHz access point.
Interface Select the radio interfaces to enable. The SSID remains inactive until you enable it for a radio interface.
