Configuring VLANs
Step 3
ssid ssid-string Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new
SSID. The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric
characters. SSIDs are case sensitive.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric, case-sensitive,
characters.
The first character can not contain the following characters:
• Exclamation point (!)
• Pound sign (#)
• Semicolon (;)
The following characters are invalid and cannot be used in an
SSID:
• Plus sign (+)
• Right bracket (])
• Front slash (/)
• Quotation mark (")
• Tab
• Trailing spaces
Note You use the ssid command’s authentication options to
configure an authentication type for each SSID. See
Chapter 11, “Configuring Authentication Types,” for
instructions on configuring authentication types.
Step 4
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. Enter a VLAN ID from 1 to 4095. You can assign only
one SSID to a VLAN.
Tip If your network uses VLAN names, you can also assign
names to the VLANs on your access point. See the
“Assigning Names to VLANs” section on page 14-7 for
instructions.
