During the configuration of the WLAN, the necessary WLAN networks are defined and, along with the physical WLAN settings, are assigned to the APs managed by the WLC.
-
Create a logical WLAN for guests and one for the internal employees:
- The WLAN with the SSID 'GUESTS' uses the VLAN ID '100'. No encryption is employed here.
- The WLAN with the SSID 'INTERNAL' uses the VLAN ID '1' (i.e. transmitted to the Ethernet without a VLAN tag), and WPA2 encryption is employed.
-
Create a set of physical parameters for the APs. The management VLAN ID is set to '1', which serves to activate the VLAN function (but without a separate management VLAN for the device; the management data traffic is transmitted untagged).
-
Create a WLAN profile to be assigned to the APs. The two logical WLAN networks and the set of physical parameters defined earlier are collected into this WLAN profile.
-
Assign this WLAN profile to the APs managed by the WLC. Do this either by entering the individual APs with their MAC addresses or, alternatively, you can use the default profile.
