Configuring a Virtual AP
This section includes examples of how to create virtual APs for a specific AP as well as for the “default” AP group,
which includes all APs discovered by the controller. The configuration in this example contain the following WLANs:
l An 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Corpnet” that uses WPA2 and is available on all APs in the network
l An 802.11a/b/g SSID called “Guest” that uses open system and is only available on the AP “building3-lobby”
(this AP will support both the “Corpnet” and “Guest” SSIDs)
Each WLAN requires a different SSID profile that maps into a separate virtual AP profile. For the SSID “Corpnet”,
which will use WPA2, you need to configure an AAA profile that includes 802.1x authentication and an 802.1x
authentication server group.
Because all APs discovered by the controller belong to the AP group called “default”, you assign the virtual AP profile
that contains the SSID profile “Corpnet” to the “default” AP group. For the “Guest” SSID, you configure a new
virtual AP profile that you assign to the AP named “building3-lobby”. Table 86 lists the profiles that you need to
modify or create for these examples.
