Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
Configuration Options: Normal Versus Advanced Mode
For example, to restrict WLAN 1 to one building, you will explicitly assigned
that WLAN to RPs in that building, as described in “Manually Assigning WLANs
to a Specific Radio” on page 3-19. All other RPs in the wireless network should
support WLANs 2 through 5. You create a default configuration for both types
of radios (802.11a and 802.11bg), in which you assign these WLANs.
Figure 3-9 displays an environment such as this. This figure also shows the
option of enabling SSID A (WLAN 1) on the default configuration, but having
SSID E (WLAN 5) be the primary WLAN. (Stations in WLAN 1 can then roam
into areas in which WLAN 1 operates in closed system.) In this example, WLAN
1 is less a restricted WLAN than a WLAN that is primarily used by employees
in one area.
