Multiple SSID channel question

[Chris Johnson]

I have 2 (for now) Aironet 1231g access points setup. They each have two SSIDs being broadcast on each one, both are the same two SSIDs. The question is, can can two different ssids from a single ap broadcast on the same channel. That means I would have both ssids broadcast on channel 6 on one of the APs then broadcast them both on channel 11 on the other? Or would each individual ssid have to be on its own non-overlapping channel? Both SSIDs are on seperate vlans. As of now it looks like it is working fine, I just want to make sure I have it configured the way it should be to work the best.

Hi Chris.

Channels are by radio, not SSID.

Exmaple

(AP#1) Channel 1

SSID - TEST1

SSID - TEST2

(AP#2) Channel 11

SSID - TEST1

SSID - TEST2

As you can see your TEST 1 will broacast on channel 1 and 11 ...

Make sense?
