Wizard Step 3

Wireless LAN Controller->Wizard->Wireless LAN Controller Wizard

Here, you define which SSID/VSS shall be present in the network. One VSS is already available per default; this can be customised via the icon. With Add you can can create up to seven additional VSS.

In this example, we create an additional VSS for visitor access:

Wireless LAN Controller->Wizard->Wireless LAN Controller Wizard

  1. A Network Name (SSID) is assigned for the new VSS.

  2. Select the Security Mode WPA-PSK .

  3. As we do not want access to the company intranet from the guest network, a VLAN is defined for this VSS (in this example VLAN ID 2 ): All data from the "Guest" network will be tagged with that VLAN ID on the Ethernet (LAN).

  4. Click on OK.

Note

VLAN ID 0 and 1 are reserved (for management VLAN) and cannot be used for any VSS.

VLAN tagging gives you the possibility to separate guest data from other data, and you can setup your network switches and/or Internet access routers in a way ´so that, e.g., all data from VLAN ID 2 and thus all guests are allowed to access the Internet but not the company intranet (please see the manual of your switch and/or router for how to configure VLAN separation there).

We now leave the VSS configuration with OK and return back to the VSS overview page. Before proceeding to wizard step 4 make sure that all access points that are supposed to be managed are connected to your LAN and are powered on.
