Configuring WLANs
WLANs with the same SSID must have unique Layer 2 security policies so that clients can make a
WLAN selection based on information advertised in beacon and probe responses. These are the available
Layer 2 security policies:
• None (open WLAN)
• Static WEP or 802.1X
Note Because static WEP and 802.1X are both advertised by the same bit in beacon and probe
responses, they cannot be differentiated by clients. Therefore, they cannot both be used by
multiple WLANs with the same SSID.
• CKIP
• WPA/WPA2
Note Although WPA and WPA2 cannot both be used by multiple WLANs with the same SSID,
two WLANs with the same SSID could be configured with WPA/TKIP with PSK and
WPA/TKIP with 802.1X, respectively, or with WPA/TKIP with 802.1X or WPA/AES with
802.1X, respectively.
Using the GUI to Create WLANs
Follow these steps to create WLANs using the GUI.
Step 1 Click Wireless > WLANs to open the WLANs page (see Figure 6-1).
Figure 6-1 WLANs Page
This page lists all of the WLANs currently configured on the controller. Figure 6-1 illustrates multiple
WLANs using the same SSID. Specifically, it shows two SSIDs named “user” but with different profile
names (user1 and user2). Notice that their security policies are also different.
Note If you want to delete a WLAN, hover your cursor over the blue drop-down arrow for that WLAN
and choose Remove.
Step 2 To create a new WLAN, click New. The WLANs > New page appears (see Figure 6-2).
