Figure 25 Wizard: Step 4 SSID
4.2.4.1 Edit SSID Profile
Use this screen to configure an SSID profile. The screen varies depending on the security mode you
select.
• Wireless Name (SSID) - Enter a descriptive name of up to 32 printable characters to identify the
wireless network on the manged AP.
• Status: Select Activate to enable the SSID profile. Otherwise, select Inactive to disable the profile.
• Guest VLAN: This field is available only when you create a guest VLAN interface in the previous
screen. Select this option to automatically add the guest VLAN tag to traffic from this SSID.
• Tagged VLAN ID: Select this option and Others, and then enter a VLAN ID for the managed AP to tag
traffic originating from this SSID. If you select Guest VLAN, this field is not configurable.
• Band Mode: Select the wireless band which this profile should use. 2.4 GHz is the frequency used by
IEEE 802.11b/g/n/ax wireless clients. 5 GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11ax/ac/a/n wireless
clients.
Not all managed APs support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency bands.
• Security Mode: Select WPA2 to add security on this wireless network. Otherwise, select Open to allow
any wireless client to associate with this network without authentication.
• Personal: If you set Security Mode to WPA2 and select Personal, enter a pre-shared key of between 8
and 63 case-sensitive ASCII characters (including spaces and symbols) or 64 hexadecimal
characters.
• Enterprise: Select Enterprise and the Primary / Secondary RADIUS Server Activate check box to have
the managed AP use the specified RADIUS server to authenticate their wireless clients. You have to
enter the IP address, port number and shared secret password of the RADIUS server to be used for
authentication. This option is not available if you select Guest VLAN.
Click OK to proceed. Click Cancel to close the screen without saving.
