Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
Figure 4-3. Assigning WLANs to the Second Radio (Normal)
You must understand that these assignments are constant: WLAN 2 is always
assigned to BSSID 2, even if you have not enabled WLAN 1.
Enabling More Than Four WLANs Using Normal Mode
Using normal mode, you can configure and enable up to 16 WLANs, which all
adopted RP radios will support. However, because the RPs only support four BSSIDs
per radio, the process of assigning WLANs changes slightly when you enable more
than four WLANs.
For the four WLANs with the lowest index numbers, the Wireless Edge Services zl
Module uses the process described above.
WLANs subsequent to WLAN 4 share the BSSID that the first four WLANs use. For
example, in Figure 4-4, SSID E (that for WLAN 5) is mapped to all radios’ BSSID 1
along with SSID A (for WLAN 1). SSID F (that for WLAN 6), as well as SSID B,
is assigned to the second BSSID, and so on.
