Figure 6-2 Wireless LANs screen
Displays the name of each WLAN available to the access point. Each WLAN
can be selected and its SSID and client management properties modified. Each
access point can support up to 16 WLANs per radio.
Displays the name of the SSID assigned to the WLAN when it was created or
last modified. Optionally, select a WLAN and click the
the SSID designation.
Displays the brief description assigned to each listed WLAN when it was
either created or modified.
Lists each WLAN's status as either Active or Shutdown. A green checkmark
defines the WLAN as available to clients on all radios where it has been
mapped. A red "X" defines the WLAN as shutdown, meaning even if the WLAN
is mapped to radios, it's not available for clients to associate.
Lists each WLAN's current VLAN mapping. When a client associates with a
WLAN, the client is assigned a VLAN by means of load balance distribution.
The VLAN is picked from a pool assigned to the WLAN. Keep in mind however,
typical deployments only map a single VLAN to a WLAN. The use of a pool is
strictly optional.
Lists each WLAN's current bridging mode as either Local or Tunnel. Tunnel is
the default mode. Local infers VLAN traffic is bridges locally, Tunnel uses a
shared tunnel for bridging the WLAN's VLAN traffic.
