Chapter 7 Configuring Multiple SSIDs
Table 7-1
Cisco IOS Release
12.3(4)JA and 12.3(7)JA Both interface-level and global; all SSIDs saved
post-12.3(4)JA
Cisco IOS Release 12.3(10b)JA supports configuration of SSID parameters at the interface level on the
CLI, but the SSIDs are stored in global mode. Storing all SSIDs in global mode ensures that the SSID
configuration remains correct when you upgrade to release later than Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JA.
If you need to upgrade from Cisco IOS Release 12.3(2)JA or earlier to a release later than 12.3(4)JA,
you should first upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA, save the configuration file, upgrade to the
target release, and load the saved configuration file. This process ensures that your interface-level SSID
configuration correctly translates to global mode. If you upgrade directly from a pre-12.3(4)JA release
to a post-12.3(4)JA release, your interface-level SSID configuration is deleted.
If you downgrade the software version from Cisco IOS Release 12.4(10b)JA, any SSIDs that you created
become invalid. To avoid reconfiguring the SSIDs after a downgrade, save a copy of a configuration file
in an earlier software version before you upgrade to Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA; if you downgrade
software versions from Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA, load the saved configuration file after the
downgrade.

Note that the VLAN configuration under each interface is retained in the global SSID configuration.
Note SSIDs, VLANs, and encryption schemes are mapped together on a one-to-one-to-one basis; one SSID
can be mapped to one VLAN, and one VLAN can be mapped to one encryption scheme. When using a
global SSID configuration, you cannot configure one SSID with two different encryption schemes. For
example, you cannot apply SSID north with TKIP on interface dot11 0 and also apply SSID north with
WEP128 on interface dot11 1.
