Requirements for Configuring Multiple BSSIDs

To configure multiple BSSIDs, your access points must meet these minimum

requirements:

• VLANs must be configured

• Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(4)JA or later

• Access points must contain an 802.11a or 802.11g radio that supports

multiple BSSIDs.

To determine whether a radio supports multiple basic SSIDs, enter the

show controllers radio_interface

supports multiple basic SSIDs if the results include this line:

Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on

radio_interface: 8

Keep these guidelines in mind when configuring multiple BSSIDs:

• RADIUS-assigned VLANs are not supported when you enable multiple

• When you enable BSSIDs, the access point automatically maps a BSSID to

each SSID. You can't manually map a BSSID to a specific SSID.

• When multiple BSSIDs are enabled on the access point, the SSIDL IE

does not contain a list of SSIDs; it contains only extended capabilities.

• Any Wi-Fi certified client device can associate to an access point by using

multiple BSSIDs.

• You can enable multiple BSSIDs on access points that participate in WDS.
