Shared Wireless SSID for Separate Adjacent Offices

[navydivervet]

Have two separate offices, literally located across the hall from each other. Both have seperate Controllers and Access Points, but have the same SSID. How do I prevent connection to SSID in other location?

[Scott Fella]

You can't. If your using the same authentication you can use 802.1x to prevent access to either location but with the "same" SSID, devices will try to connect and fail. This will not be a good idea as it will impact user experience.
