Step 6
vlan vlan-id (Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network. Client
devices that associate using the SSID are grouped into this
VLAN.
Step 7
guest-mode (Optional) Designate the SSID as your access point’s
guest-mode SSID. The access point includes the SSID in its
beacon and allows associations from client devices that do not
specify an SSID.
Step 8
infrastructure-ssid [optional] (Optional) Designate the SSID as the SSID that other access
points and workgroup bridges use to associate to this access
point. If you do not designate an SSID as the infrastructure
SSID, infrastructure devices can associate to the access point
using any SSID. If you designate an SSID as the infrastructure
SSID, infrastructure devices must associate to the access point
using that SSID unless you also enter the optional keyword.
