One SSID can be used across multiple WLANs (BSS), so the HESSID helps a
client identify when the BSSID belongs to a homogenous BSS with identical configuration.
Beacon with same {HESSID, SSID} pair belong to same WLAN. The {HESSID, SSID} pair must be
unique for each WLAN. By default, the HESSID is set to the MAC address of the controller
Ethernet port. Hotspots can have the same HESSID as long as the SSID is unique. If opting to
configure the HESSID manually, we recommend using an AP BSSID as the HESSID. In a mobility
domain, manually configure the HESSID to a unique value, differentiating it from the value
used in the controller's WLAN.
Access Network
Identifies the type of network. Valid values are:
Private network. An enterprise network with user accounts.
Private network with guest access. An enterprise network providing guest access.
Chargeable public network. (Default) Open to anyone but access requires payment.
Free public network. Open network, free of charge but may still require acceptance of
terms of use (and may involve OSU servers with captive portal).
DGAF Disabled
Downstream Group-Address Forwarding Disabled. By default this option
is checked. When checked, the AP is not forwarding downstream group-addressed
frames.
Select each tab to complete the
