Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)

Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode

Why Use Advanced Mode

Reasons that you might use advanced mode include:

■ You want to restrict access to a WLAN to a certain area.

For example, if a WLAN allows wireless users to access sensitive financial

information, you might not want your network to support that WLAN,

even protected by encryption, in a public lobby. Advanced mode allows

you to assign a WLAN to certain RPs only, so you control where the WLAN

exists.

For example, in Figure 4-7, the administrator has assigned SSID A to the

RP in Building 2, and SSIDs B, C, and D to other RPs.

Figure 4-7. Restricting a WLAN to an Area

■ Your network includes more than four WLANs, and you want beacons to

include one of the WLANs with a higher index number.

In this case, you should assign the WLAN that you want RPs to beacon as

the primary WLAN on a specific BSSID.
