SSID/VLAN

c.fuller — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 17:05:57 GMT

Is it possible to configure multiple SSIDs and have

them mapped to the same vlan if using trunking feature to AP. I currently trunk 2 vlans to my AP and would like to create two SSIDs with different authentication and keep them on the same vlan. Any chance of doing this. It appears to me that it is a 1 to 1 mapping.

Hi,

You can only assign one SSID to a VLAN i'm afraid.

You can assign more than one SSID on a VLAN. Please go to the following URL (WLSM Deployment Guide):

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/hw/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00802a86a7.html

You can find out that you can assign more than 1 SSID per VLAN. The restriction is that all SSIDs in the same VLAN share the same authentication and encryption.

You can do "open authentication" or "EAP authentication" (i.e. check "Open" with no addition and "Network EAP" with no addition in the GUI). However, all SSIDs allow both open and EAP authentication. This really defeat the purpose of enable encryption and 802.1x authentication in most cases.
