Adding 3rd SSID to Cisco 3702i AP in autonomous mode

[Andrew White]

Hello,

I've got a Cisco 3702i running 2 SSIDs.  1 on 2.4Ghz and the other on 5Ghz, I wanted to add another 2.4Ghz SSID but I can't.

What I have:

dot11 pause-time 100
dot11 syslog
!
dot11 ssid Area51-2.4Ghz
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa version 2
   guest-mode
   wpa-psk ascii 7 ****
!
dot11 ssid Area51-5Ghz
   authentication open
   authentication key-management wpa version 2
   guest-mode
   wpa-psk ascii 7 ***
!
no ipv6 cef
!
bridge irb
!
interface Dot11Radio0
 no ip address
 !
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 !
 ssid Area51-2.4Ghz

 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
 bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
 no bridge-group 1 source-learning
 no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding
!
interface Dot11Radio1
 no ip address
 !
 encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm
 !
 ssid Area51-5Ghz
 !
 antenna gain 0
 peakdetect
 no dfs band block

 bridge-group 1
 bridge-group 1 subscriber-loop-control
 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
 bridge-group 1 block-unknown-source
 no bridge-group 1 source-learning
 no bridge-group 1 unicast-flooding

If I go to the interface 'Dot11Radio 0" where my current 2.4Ghz SSID is I can't add another:

Dot11Radio0: Guest-ssid already existing on ssid MyNet-2.4Ghz

Do I have to create a new sub interface like 0.1 and somehow bind it to the BVI?

I have no idea.

Thanks

Hi,

Just enable mbssid under the radio interface and then you can add the command "mbssid guest-mode" under each SSID config. This will allow multiple SSID's to be broadcast from the AP.

yes, correct you need another subinterface to accommodate.
