21.2 Importing access point names (“last digit zero” mode)
21.2.1 Overview
This import mode is useful for importing access point names to the system from e.g. Cisco
controller output. The last digit of a Cisco access point MAC address is zero, last digit of BSSIDs
of the access point are non-zero.
For example:
Access point MAC address: 58:BC:27:5D:8B:B0
MAC address of first BSSID: 58:BC:27:5D:8B:B1
MAC address of second BSSID: 58:BC:27:5D:8B:B1
MAC address of third BSSID: 58:BC:27:5D:8B:B2
Access point name list exported from WLAN controller lists the access point names and their
MAC addresses:
Test-AP-1 58:BC:27:5D:8B:A0
Test-AP-2 58:BC:27:5D:8B:B0
Test-AP-3 58:BC:27:5D:8B:C0
Importing names for all BSSIDs of the access point can be done by using this import type.
