4. Continue with additional security-related procedures in this document for additional RADIUS and SSID
settings for device groups, as required.
Configuring Group SSIDs and VLANs
Use the Groups > SSIDs configuration page to create and edit SSIDs and VLANs that apply to a device group.
This configuration page does not appear in the W-AirWave WebUI until after you configure a RADIUS server using
the Groups > AAA Servers page, as described on "Adding and Configuring Group AAA Servers" on page 86.
W-AirWave reports users by radio and by SSID. Graphs on the AP and controller monitoring pages display
bandwidth in and out based on SSID. W-AirWave reports can also be run and filtered by SSID. An option on the
AMP Setup > General page can age out inactive SSIDs and their associated graphical data.
Perform these steps to create or edit VLANs and to set SSIDs.
The Groups > SSID page does not appear in the W-AirWave WebUI until after you configure a RADIUS server using the
Groups > AAA Servers page, as described on "Adding and Configuring Group AAA Servers" on page 86.
WLANs that are supported from one or more Cisco WLC controllers can be configured on the Groups > Cisco WLC
Config page.
1. Go to Groups > List and select the group name for which to define SSIDs/VLANs.
2. Select the Groups > SSIDs configuration page. Table 57 describes the information that appears for SSIDs
and VLANs that are currently configured for the device group.
Field Description
SSID Displays the SSID associated with the VLAN.
VLAN ID Identifies the number of the primary VLAN SSID on which encrypted or unencrypted
packets can pass between the AP and the switch.
Name Displays the name of the VLAN.
Encryption Mode Displays the encryption on the VLAN.
First or Second Radio
Enabled
Enables the VLAN, SSID and Encryption Mode on the radio control.
First or Second Radio
Primary
Specifies which VLAN to be used as the primary VLAN. A primary VLAN is required.
NOTE: If you create an open network (see the Create Closed Network setting
below) in which the APs broadcast an SSID, the primary SSID is broadcast.
Native VLAN Sets this VLAN to be the native VLAN. Native VLANs are untagged and typically used
for management traffic only. W-AirWave requires a Native VLAN to be set. For AP
types do not require a native VLAN, create a dummy VLAN, disable it on both radio
controls, and ensure that it has the highest VLAN ID.

3. Select Add to create a new SSID or VLAN, or select the pencil icon next to an existing SSID/VLAN to edit that
existing SSID or VLAN. The Add SSID/VLAN configuration page appears, as explained in Table 58.
4. Locate the SSID/VLAN section on the Groups > SSIDs configuration page and adjust these settings as
required. This section encompasses the basic VLAN configuration. Table 58 describes the settings and default
values. Note that the displayed settings can vary.
