Multiple vlans with single SSID

[Srikanth Lingala]

Hello Experts

Need your inputs / guidance on following requirement.

I have two 1142n LWP ap converted into standalone, as client doesn't have any controller there. They just want to extend their network via wireless.

L3 switch (trunk port gig 1/48) -----> connected to AP1

L3 switch (trunk port 2/48) -----------> connected to AP2

client is looking for 3 vlans on the floor ( users might multiple vlans might associated same AP ). They have a dedicated DHCP/DNS server and he will be configuring 3 vlans on L3 switch with correct ip helper address on SVI interfaces.

I'm i allowed to created 3 SSID's on 1142n standalone AP ?

What would the various optiosn to achieve this requirement ? Is there any simplest way to achieve this ? Do i need to go for 802.1x ? I remember client told their users are authenticating by using AD for wired network. This is their first request for wireless environment

Your assistance in this regards would  be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

Srikanth,

     yes you can create up to 16 SSID on a given AP, but I wouldn't go past 4 unless you absolutely had to.

basic config for an SSID using WPA2/AES with a PSK

dot11 ssid Corporate

vlan 10

authentication open

authentication wpa version 2

authentication key-mangement wpa 0 ascci 12345678 < or whatever key you want to use 8-63 characters>

Int dot 0

vlan 10 mode ciphers aes-ccm

ssid Corporate

Int dot0.10

bridge-group 10

int G0.10

Bridege-group 10

The above config, assumes that the AP is not getting an address on vlan 10.  THen rinse/repeat for each SSID that you need to have configured.

HTH,

Steve
