Virtual Wireless Network
Choose one of the following from the list to identify an additional
network to configure:
 One
 Two
Status
To enable the specified network, click On. To disable the specified
network, click Off.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
Enter a name for the wireless network as a character string. This name
applies to all access points on this network. As you add more access
points, they will use this SSID.
The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is an alphanumeric string of up to 32
characters
Note
If you are connected as a wireless client to the same access point
that you are administering, resetting the SSID will cause you to lose
connectivity to the access point. You will need to reconnect to the
new SSID after you save this new setting.
VLAN ID
Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the internal VLAN.
This will cause the access point to send DHCP requests with the VLAN
tag. The switch and the DHCP server must support VLAN IEEE
802.1Q frames. The access point must be able to reach the DHCP
server.
Check with the Administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP
configurations.
Broadcast SSID
Select the Broadcast SSID setting by clicking Allow or Prohibit.
By default, the access point broadcasts (allows) the Service Set
Identifier (SSID) in its beacon frames.
You can suppress (prohibit) this broadcast to discourage stations from
automatically discovering your access point. When the access point’s
broadcast SSID is suppressed, the network name will not be displayed
in the List of Available Networks on a client station. Instead, the client
must have the exact network name configured in the supplicant before
it will be able to connect.
