12.4 Configuring “Internal” Wireless LAN Settings
The Internal Settings describe the MAC Address (read-only) and Network Name
(also known as the SSID) for the internal Wireless LAN (WLAN) as described in
Table 12.3.
Field Description
MAC Address Shows the MAC address(es) for Internal interface for this access point. This is a read-only field that
you cannot change.
Although this access is point is physically a single device, it can be represented on the network as
two or more nodes each with a unique MAC Address. This is accomplished by using multiple Basic
Service Set Identifiers (
BSSID s) for a single access point.
The MAC address(es) shown for the “Internal” access point is the BSSID(s) for the “Internal” interface.
For the two-radio AP, two MAC addresses are shown: one for each Radio on the Internal interface.
