Chapter 5 Configuring SSIDs
Configuring the SSID
Creating an SSID
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an SSID:
Note You use the ssid command’s authentication options to configure an authentication type for the SSID. See
Chapter 8, “Configuring Authentication Types,”for instructions on configuring authentication types.
Use the no form of the command to disable the SSID or to disable SSID features.
This example shows how to:
• Name an SSID
• Configure the SSID for RADIUS accounting
• Assign the SSID to the native VLAN
• Designate the SSID as the infrastructure SSID
bridge# configure terminal
bridge(config)# interface dot11radio 0
bridge(config-if)# ssid bridgeman
bridge(config-ssid)# accounting accounting-method-list
bridge(config-ssid)# vlan 1
bridge(config-ssid)# infrastructure-ssid
bridge(config-ssid)# end
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11radio 0 Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
Step 3
ssid ssid-string Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new
SSID. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. SSIDs are case sensitive.
Note You can include spaces in an SSID, but be careful not
to add spaces to an SSID accidentally, especially at the
end of an SSID.
Step 4
authentication client
username username
password password
(Optional) Set an authentication username and password that
the WMIC uses to authenticate to the network.
Step 5

Step 6
vlan vlan-id (Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network. On
your WMIC, you should assign the SSID to the native VLAN.
Step 7
infrastructure-ssid Designate the SSID as the infrastructure SSID. It is used to
instruct a non-root bridge or workgroup bridge radio to
associate with this SSID.
Step 8
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 9
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
