The page that displays lets you select and add an SSID.
5. Click the + button to the left of Add SSID.
The previous figure shows SSID2 as an example.
6. Specify the WiFi network name (SSID), select whether the SSID is broadcast, and
specify the VLAN ID as described in the following table.
Setting Description
Wireless The SSID is the WiFi network name of the VAP. Enter a name for the SSID with a maximum
Network Name of 32 characters. You can use a combination of alphanumeric and special characters, except
(SSID) for quotation marks (") and a backslash (\).
For a WiFi device to be able to connect to the VAP, the SSID on the WiFi device must match
the SSID of the VAP.
Broadcast SSID By default, the VAP broadcasts its SSID so that WiFi clients can detect the SSID in their
scanned network lists. To turn off the SSID broadcast, select the No radio button.
Turning off the SSID broadcast provides additional WiFi security, but users must know the
SSID to be able to join the VAP.
VLAN ID You can enter the VLAN ID that must be associated with the VAP. By default, the VLAN ID is
1.
This VLAN ID is not the same as the 802.1Q VLAN ID that is used for the wired network (see
Set the 802.1Q VLAN and management VLAN on page 137).
