Set up Multi PSK for a WiFi network

Multi Pre-Shared Key (PSK) lets you segregate a single WiFi network into different VLANs,
each accessible with a unique passphrase. In a way, Multi PSK lets you create different
sub WiFi networks on a single WiFi network. When connecting to the WiFi network, the
passphrase that a user enters determines the VLAN that the WiFi client is placed in.
In addition to a VLAN and passphrase, you can associate a key identifier with the
VLAN-to-passphrase mapping. The key identifier lets you identify the VLANs in the WiFi
network for network monitoring purposes. For example, when you display WiFi clients,
the key identifier can also display (see Display client distribution, connected clients, and
client trends on page 185).
As examples of key identifiers, you could use terms such as corporatenetwork_22,
corporatenetwork_23, and corporatenetwork_24. These key identifiers (or the associated
VLAN IDs) are not visible to a user trying to connect to the WiFi network: the user sees
the SSID and enters the passphrase.
If you enable Multi PSK, the WiFi network's passphrase and VLAN are replaced by the
passphrases and VLANs that are part of the Multi PSK configuration.
