How To Configure Wlans; Creating Wlans (Cli) - Cisco Catalyst 3650 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring WLANs
If you want to filter WLANs, you can use the callStationID that is set by RFC 3580 to be in the APMAC:SSID
format. You can also extend the filtering on the authentication server to be on a per-WLAN source interface
by using the NAS-IP-Address attribute.
When you enable the per-WLAN RADIUS source support, the switch sources all RADIUS traffic for a
particular WLAN by using the dynamic interface that is configured. Also, RADIUS attributes are modified
accordingly to match the identity. This feature virtualizes the switch on the per-WLAN RADIUS traffic, where
each WLAN can have a separate layer 3 identity. This feature is useful in deployments that integrate with
ACS Network Access Restrictions and Network Access Profiles.
You can combine per-WLAN RADIUS source support with the normal RADIUS traffic source and some
WLANs that use the management interface and others using the per-WLAN dynamic interface as the address
source.
