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
A Network Name (SSID) is assigned for the new VSS.
Select the Security Mode WPA-PSK .
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).
Click on OK.

---|---|
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.
