Get the SSID of a VWN
In this example, suppose you want to determine the SSID of VWN 14 on an AP.
AT-TQ2403# get interface wlan0vwn14 ssid
myoffice
Set the SSID for a VWN
The SSID for a wireless network can be any alphanumeric string, up to a maximum of 32 characters. The
SSID you set for a particular VWN will apply to all APs in the cluster. If you add any additional APs to that
cluster, they too will share the SSID you set.
To set the SSID for a VWN to "test lab vwn", use the following CLI command:
AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan0vwn14 ssid "test lab vwn"
AT-TQ2403# set interface wlan1vwn14 ssid "test lab vwn"
Determine whether Broadcast SSID is enabled
To determine whether the Broadcast SSID for a VWN 12 is enabled, use the following CLI command:
AT-TQ2403# get bss wlan0bssvwn12 ignore-broadcast-ssid
off
Enable or Disable the Broadcast SSID
By default, the AP broadcasts its SSID in its beacon frames. If you want to prevent other stations from
discovering your AP on the network, you can disable the broadcast of the SSID. When the broadcast
SSID is disabled, your network name is not displayed in the List of Available Networks on a client station.
Suppose you don’t want other stations on a network to detect your AP. Use the following CLI command
to disable the broadcast SSID
AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssvwn12 ignore-broadcast-ssid on
Alternatively, to enable the broadcast ssid, use the following CLI command:
AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan0bssvwn12 ignore-broadcast-ssid off
If you need to disable the broadcast SSID, you must disable both radios. Therefore you would use the
same command as, and also the following command:
AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan1bssvwn12 ignore-broadcast-ssid on
Similarly, if you want to enable the broadcast SSID, use the command to enable AP, and also use the
following command:
AT-TQ2403# set bss wlan1bssvwn12 ignore-broadcast-ssid off
Configure Security on the VWN
You can set a different type of security on each VWN. The configuration of security on a VWN is
virtually the same as configuring security on an access point. All the available options for configuring
security on the access point are available for configuring security on the VWN. The only difference in
configuration is that when you configure security on a VWN, rather than simply using wlan0 in your CLI
command, you will use wlan0vwn<x>. Similarly, rather than using wlan1 in your CLI command, you will
