field to define the following:
If adding a new WLAN, enter its name in the space provided. Spaces between words are
not permitted. The name could be a logical representation of the WLAN coverage area
(engineering, marketing etc.). If editing an existing WLAN, the WLAN's name appears at
the top of the screen and cannot be modified. The name cannot exceed 32 characters.
Enter or modify the Services Set Identification (SSID) associated with the WLAN. The
WLAN name is auto-generated using the SSID until changed by the user. The maximum
number of characters for the SSID is 32.
Provide a textual description for the WLAN to help differentiate it from others with similar
configurations. A description can be up to 64 characters.
Select the Enabled radio button to ensure this WLAN is active and available to clients on
the radios where it has been mapped. Select the Disabled radio button to make this
WLAN inactive, meaning even if the WLAN is mapped to radios, it is not available for
clients to associate.
Use the drop-down menu to assign an existing QoS policy to the WLAN. If needed, select
the Create icon to define a new QoS policy or select the Edit icon to modify the
configuration of a selected QoS Policy. QoS helps ensure each WLAN receives a fair share
of the overall bandwidth, either equally or per the proportion configured. For information
on creating a QoS policy that can be applied to a WLAN, see
6-54.
Use the drop-down menu to specify the WLAN's bridging mode as either Local or Tunnel.
Select Local to Bridge VLAN traffic locally, or Tunnel to use a shared tunnel for bridging
the WLAN's VLAN traffic. Local is the default setting.
Select this option to enable DHCP Option 82. DHCP option 82 provides additional
information on the physical attachment of a client This setting is disabled by default
Select this option to enable the DHCPv6 relay agent. The DHCPv6 LDRA (Lightweight
DHCP Relay Agent) allows for DHCPv6 messages to be transmitted on existing networks
that do not currently support IPv6 or DHCPv6.
Use the drop-down menu to assign an existing Bonjour Gateway Discovery policy to the
WLAN. If needed, select the Create icon to define a new Bonjour Gateway Discovery
policy or select the Edit icon to modify the configuration of a selected Bonjour Gateway
Discovery Protocol. The Bonjour Gateway Discovery Policy configures how Bonjour
services can be located on this WLAN. It configures the VLANs on which these services
can be found. For more information on Bonjour Gateway Discovery Protocol, see
the Bonjour Gateway Configuration on page
field to define broadcast behavior within this specific WLAN.
Select this radio button to broadcast SSIDs within beacons. If a hacker tries to isolate and
hack a client SSID via a client, the ESSID displays since the ESSID is in the beacon. This
feature is enabled by default.
Select this radio button to associate a client with a blank SSID (regardless of which SSID
the wireless controller is currently using). This feature is enabled by default.
