1.4 Sample Feature Applications
This section describes some possible scenarios and topologies that you can set up using your Zyxel
Device.
1.4.1 MBSSID
A Basic Service Set (BSS) is the set of devices forming a single WiFi network (usually an access point and
one or more WiFi clients). The Service Set IDentifier (SSID) is the name of a BSS. In Multiple BSS (MBSSID)
mode, the Zyxel Device provides multiple virtual APs, each forming its own BSS and using its own
individual SSID profile.
You can configure multiple SSID profiles, and have all of them active at any one time.
You can assign different wireless and security settings to each SSID profile. This allows you to
compartmentalize groups of users, set varying access privileges, and prioritize network traffic to and
from certain BSSs.
To the WiFi clients in the network, each SSID appears to be a different access point. As in any WiFi
network, clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings.
For example, you might want to set up a WiFi network in your office where Internet telephony (VoIP)
users have priority. You also want a regular WiFi network for standard users, as well as a ‘guest’ WiFi
network for visitors. In the following figure, VoIP_SSID users have QoS priority, SSID01 is the WiFi network for
standard users, and Guest_SSID is the WiFi network for guest users. In this example, the guest user is
forbidden access to the wired Local Area Network (LAN) behind the AP and can access only the
Internet.
