Configuring the WLANs
In this example, default AP parameters for the entire network are as follows: the default ESSID is WLAN-01 and
the encryption mode is TKIP. A second ESSID called “guest” has the encryption mode set to static WEP with a
configured WEP key.
In this example, the non-guest clients that associate to an AP are mapped into one of two different user VLANs.
The initial AP to which the client associates determines the VLAN: clients that associate to APs in the first floor
of the building are mapped to VLAN 60 and clients that associate to APs in the second floor of the building are
mapped to VLAN 61. Therefore, the APs in the network are segregated into two AP groups, named “first-floor”
and “second-floor”. (See “AP Groups” on page103 for information about creating AP groups.) The guest clients
are mapped into VLAN 63.
Configuring the Guest WLAN
You create and configure the virtual AP profile “guest” and apply the profile to each AP group. The “guest”
virtual AP profile contains the SSID profile “guest” which configures static WEP with a WEP key.
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.
2. In the AP Group list, click Edit for first-floor.
3. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then select Virtual AP.
4. To create the guest virtual AP:
a. Select NEW from the Add a profile drop-down menu. Enter guest, and click Add.
b. In the Profile Details entry for the guest virtual AP profile, select NEW from the SSID profile drop-down
menu. A pop-up window allows you to configure the SSID profile.
c. For the name for the SSID profile enter guest.
d. For the Network Name for the SSID, enter guest.
e. For Network Authentication, select None.
f. For Encryption, select WEP.
g. Enter the WEP Key.
h. Click Apply to apply the SSID profile to the Virtual AP.
i. Under Profile Details, click Apply.
5. Click on the guest virtual AP name in the Profiles list or in Profile Details to display configuration parameters.
a. Make sure Virtual AP enable is selected.
b. For VLAN, select 63.
c. Click Apply.
6. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.
7. In the AP Group list, click Edit for the second-floor.
8. In the Profiles list, select Wireless LAN, then select Virtual AP.
