SSID Multi PSK

MichaelZenft01499 — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 19:27:33 GMT

Hello,

We are starting to get a lot more wireless devices such as thermostats, HVAC monitoring, medical devices and I'm sure there will be others..

We have the 5520 WLC and we would like to look at creating a new Wireless network and apply multiple PSK to it. I did some research and found a document "Multi-Preshared Key" for the 9800 WLC.

I don't see on our 5520 WLC a place to enter multiple PSK's..

Any guidance would be awesome..

thank you

You are looking at what I am called iPSK.

You are right that the feature MPSK is only available on the 9800 and I would not assume that this feature will make it into one of the legacy controllers like the 5520. As already mentioned, you could use iPSK but that is a quite different feature and needs a RADIUS-server with a mapping of MAC-addresses to PSKs. Not as easy as MPSKs, but probably a good solution if you already have a RADIUS-server.
