Guest SSID broadcasting option

[Abinaya R]

Hi,

In my network design, I have two WLCs. I have kept one WLC in the LAN and one in DMZ. The WLC in Lan has 90 access points associated to it. These access points are in different locations and is configured HREAP.

I have created Guest SSID and i want this SSID to be broadcasted and used only for one location.

Is there any way to do so that Guest SSID will be used in one location only and remaining locations will not use guest feature;.

Please reply. Thanks in advance

Hi,

Yes you can do this.. This feature is called AP  Grouping if we are using 4.2 and above WLC software.. if we are using  4.2 and below, then its called WLAN Override..

here is the link to configure the same

Hi,

AP grouping seems to be fine.. But my query is I have the SSID named GUEST, But this SSID should be broadcasted in few locations and should not be broadcasted in few locations. Is this possible with AP Groups?

[Surendra BG]

No.. Broadcasting SSID is a Global configuration.. We cannot do this.. lemme know if this answered your question

Ok. But, Is there any other ways to bring this solution?(i.e) All though the access points from different locations are joined in one controller through HReap, The Guest SSID should be used only in few locations and should not be used for few other locations?

[Surendra BG]

No there is no other solution i guess.. Since the SSID broadcasting is the Global config, we can either enable or disable it... This inturn is blindly used by the AP...

Lemme know if this answered your question!!
