Configuring WLANs
2. To create a new WLAN, enter this command:
config wlan create wlan_id {profile_name | foreign_ap} ssid
Note If you do not specify an ssid, the profile_name parameter is used for both the profile name
and the SSID.
Note When WLAN 1 is created in the configuration wizard, it is created in enabled mode. Disable
it until you have finished configuring it. When you create a new WLAN using the config
wlan create command, it is created in disabled mode. Leave it disabled until you have
finished configuring it.
Note If you want to create a guest LAN for wired guest users, follow the instructions in the
“Configuring Wired Guest Access” section on page 10-23.
3. To disable a WLAN (for example, before making any modifications to a WLAN), enter this
command:
config wlan disable {wlan_id | foreign_ap | all}
where
• wlan_id is a WLAN ID between 1 and 512 (inclusive),
• foreign_ap is a third-party access point, and
• all is all WLANs.
Note If the management and AP-manager interfaces are mapped to the same port and are members
of the same VLAN, you must disable the WLAN before making a port-mapping change to
either interface. If the management and AP-manager interfaces are assigned to different
VLANs, you do not need to disable the WLAN.
4. To enable a WLAN (for example, after you have finished making configuration changes to the
WLAN), enter this command:
config wlan enable {wlan_id | foreign_ap | all}
Note If the command fails, an error message appears (for example, “Request failed for wlan 10 -
Static WEP key size does not match 802.1X WEP key size”).
5. To delete a WLAN, enter this command:
config wlan delete {wlan_id | foreign_ap}
Note An error message appears if you try to delete a WLAN that is assigned to an access point
group. If you proceed, the WLAN is removed from the access point group and from the
access point’s radio.
