Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
In other words, with normal configuration, WLANs 5 through 16 always oper-
ate in partially closed system. If you want these WLANs to operate in com-
pletely closed system, you should disable responses to probe requests. You
cannot disable closed system.
See “Enabling Closed System Operations” on page 4-66 to learn more about
configuring this features described above.
Finally, again, note that the WLAN assignments are constant. If, for whatever
reason, you configure and enable WLANs 2, 4, 5, and 6 instead of 1, 2, 3, and
4, SSID B (WLAN 2) is assigned to BSSID 2, not BSSID 1. SSID F (WLAN 6) is
also assigned to BSSID 2, and no SSID is assigned to BSSID 3. (See Figure 4-6.)
For this reason, you should generally configure WLANs in order, beginning at
index 1.
Figure 4-6. Enabling Out of Sequence WLANs
Table 4-1 shows the BSSID to which all 16 WLANs available in normal mode
are always assigned.
