Multiple Security Profiles (SSIDs/Vlans) or Single SSIDs and Vlans

[msmarziali]

Hi All,

We have configured an acces points Aironet 1850i with image mobility express.

In my network i have 4 vlans.

The access point is connected to the switch with a trunk connection for all vlans.

We have configured radius authentication for all SSIDs: we have created a SSID (tagged) for each vlan.

In total now i have 4 SSID.

It is possible to have a configuration with a single SSID and then based on user authentication (if a member of a group) assign the vlanid ?

Which is the safest configuration?

Thank you in advance.

Hi

Yes you can have only 1 ssid and then based on user authentication, you can push them into a vlan. If you're in a flexconnect mode then you can assign a vlan. If you're in local mode (centralized mode), you can assign a radius attribute Airespace:Airespace-Interface-Name. This interface must be defined into your wlc.
