Chapter 5 Access and BSS Configuration
When a Dot11Radio interface is put into Access mode, BSSs configured for that
interface becomes virtual APs that client devices may associate with. Each BSS is
bound to a physical dot11radio interface; therefore, BSSs are configured within the
‘interface dot11radio’ mode. The MSR2000 supports up to four BSSs on each radio
interface.
Basic BSS configuration
The following table outlines the basic settings for each BSS.
