During the configuration of the WLAN, the necessary WLAN networks are defined and,
along with the physical WLAN settings, are assigned to the access points managed by the
controller.
-
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 WPA encryption is employed.
-
Create a set of physical parameters for the access points. 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 access points. 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 access points managed by the controller. Do this either
by entering the individual access points with their MAC addresses or, alternatively, you
can use the default profile.
