Features and Capabilities 13
Multiple SSIDs
Using multiple SSIDs provides you with more flexibility in configuring your
wireless network, including supporting multiple security schemes
simultaneously.
For example, if you have a number of wireless stations that can only
support WEP encryption while the rest can support WPA, you do not have
to lower the security level for the WPA compliant devices to
accommodate non-WPA compliant stations.
You can configure two security profiles with two different SSIDs – one
using WEP and the other using WPA for encryption. And then, let the
wireless stations that can only support WEP associate with the SSID that is
using WEP for encryption. The rest of the wireless stations can associate
with the other SSID that uses WPA.
VLAN support Supports the 802.1Q VLAN standard, allowing traffic from
different sources to be segmented. When combined with the
multiple SSID feature, serves as a powerful tool for
controlling access to the wireless network. See “VLAN
Support”.
