Configuring the SSID
First, establish the SSID (network interface) for the network. This is independent of the number of physical access points that will be deployed. The network assigns IP addresses using DHCP.
To configure the SSID - web-based manager
1. Go to WiFi Controller > WiFi Network > SSID and select Create New.
2. Enter the following information and select OK:
Interface Name | example_wifi_if |
Traffic Mode | Tunnel to Wireless Controller |
IP/Network Mask | 10.10.110.1/24 |
Administrative Access | Ping (to assist with testing) |
DHCP Server | Enable |
| Address Range | 10.10.110.2 - 10.10.110.199 |
Netmask | 255.255.255.0 |
Default Gateway | Same As Interface IP |
DNS Server | Same as System DNS |
SSID | example_wifi |
Security Mode | WPA2 Enterprise |
Authentication | Usergroup, select wlan_users. |
Leave other settings at their default values. |
To configure the SSID - CLI
