Access Point Basic Configuration

[ansarjavaid54]

Hello Guys.

Am new to wireless and searched about basic configuration for the 1602 standalone. I have to configure about 10 WAP's 1602 with two SSID's.

I have two vlan's configured on my switch.

My questions are.

1. What will be the configuration on the switch-port as it has to broadcast two SSID (VLAN's 10,20). Trunk or access.

2. I have configured Vlan's on Access-point and mapped them to SSID but am not getting any option for Preshare authentication for clients.

there is option though but not for clear text..

Any immediate help will be appreciated.

Regards.

Autonomous AP's need to be connected to a trunk port.  The native vlan needs to be the vlan the AP management interface is on.  As far as SSID encryption, take a look at this link:

Make sure you only use one type. I would configure WPA2/AES only.

Here is another link that might help:

You will be able to find many links and videos on autonomous AP configuration also which might be easier to follow.

Scott is correct that you need to use trunk ports for your WAPs.

Why are you not using a controller?  10 WAPs do not make a big network but I would recommend looking at at a small controller to support this.  There us a virtual controller that is pretty cheap.
