Using The Cli - Foundry Networks IronPoint 200 User Manual

Foundry IronPoint 200 User Guide
The 802.11a radio supports four VAP interfaces, each VAP is defined by its SSID.You should set an
SSID to identify the wireless network service provided by the VAP. Only clients with the same SSID
can associate with the VAP.
Note: You must first enable VAP interface 0 before you can enable VAP interfaces 1, 2, or 3.

Using the CLI

From the CLI configuration mode, use the interface wireless a command to access the interface
mode for the 802.11a radio. From the 802.11a interface mode, you can access radio settings that
apply to all VAP interfaces. Use the turbo command to enable this feature before setting the radio
channel with the channel command. To access each VAP interface (numbered 0 to 3), use the vap
command. You should set each VAP interface SSID using the ssid command and, if required,
configure a name for each interface using the description command. Set any other parameters as
required before enabling the VAP interface with the no shutdown command.
