Wireless LAN Policies

1. Select Configuration → Wireless → Wireless LANs to display existing WLANs.
   

   Wireless LANs Screen

   
2. Refer to the following (read only) information to assess the attributes of the each WLAN available:

   WLAN	Displays the name of each available WLAN. Individual WLANs can selected and their SSID and client management properties modified. Each access point can support up to 16 WLANs per radio.
   SSID	Displays the SSID assigned to the WLAN when created or last modified. Optionally, select a WLAN and click Edit to update the WLAN's SSID.
   Description	Displays the brief description set for each listed WLAN when it was either created or modified.
   WLAN Status	Lists each WLAN's current status as either Disabled or Enabled. A green check mark defines the WLAN as available to clients on all radios where it has been mapped. A red "X" defines the WLAN as shutdown, meaning even if the WLAN is mapped to radios, it is not available for clients to associate.
   VLAN Pool	Lists each WLAN's current VLAN mapping. Mapping a WLAN to more than one VLANs is permitted. When a client associates with a WLAN, the client is assigned a VLAN by load balance distribution. The VLAN is picked from a pool assigned to the WLAN. Keep in mind however, typical deployments only map a single VLAN to a WLAN. The use of a pool is strictly optional.
   Bridging Mode	Lists each WLAN‘s current bridging mode as either Local or Tunnel. Local infers VLAN traffic is bridged locally, Tunnel uses a shared tunnel for bridging the WLAN‘s VLAN traffic. Note: The default setting is Local.
   DHCP Option 82	Displays whether DHCP Option 82 is enabled or not. DHCP option 82 provides additional information on the physical attachment of a client. Note: This option is disabled by default.
   DHCPv6 LDRA	Lightweight DHCPv6 Relay Agent (LDRA) is used to insert relay-agent options in DHCPv6 message exchanges that identify client-facing interfaces. These relay agents are deployed to forward DHCPv6 messages between clients and servers when they are not on the same IPv6 link. A red “X” indicates that this WLAN acts as a DHCPv6 LDRA.
   Authentication Type	Displays the name of the user authentication scheme each listed WLAN is using to secure its client membership transmissions. None is listed if authentication is not used within this WLAN. Refer to the Encryption Type column if no authentication is used to verify there is some sort of data protection used with the WLAN or risk no protection at all.
   Encryption Type	Displays the name of the encryption type each listed WLAN is using to secure its client membership transmissions. None is listed if encryption is not used within this WLAN. Refer to the Authentication Type column to verify that there is some sort of data protection used with the WLAN or risk using this WLAN with no protection at all.
   QoS Policy	Lists the QoS policy applied to each listed WLAN. A QoS policy needs to be custom selected (or created) for each WLAN in respect to the WLAN's intended client traffic and the voice, video, or normal data traffic it supports.
   Association ACL	Lists the Association ACL policy applied to each listed WLAN. An Association ACL is a policy-based Access Control List (ACL) that either prevents or allows connection between wireless clients and a WLAN. The mapping of an Association ACL is strictly optional.
