1. Go to Groups > List and select the group name for which to define SSIDs/VLANs.
2. Select the Groups > SSIDs configuration page. Table 56 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. 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.
