interface-config-radio-instance

Enables a WLAN on this radio

Use this command to configure WLAN/BSS mappings for an existing access point deployment. Administrators can assign each WLAN its own BSSID. If using a single-radio access point, there are 8 BSSIDs available. If using a dual-radio access point there are 8 BSSIDs for the 802.11b/g/n radio and 8 BSSIDs for the 802.11a/n radio.

Supported in the following platforms:

  • Access Points — AP505i, AP510i, AP510e, AP560i, AP560h

Syntax

wlan <WLAN-NAME> {bss|primary}
wlan <WLAN-NAME> {bss <1-16>} {primary}

Parameters

wlan <WLAN-NAME> {bss <1-16>} {primary}
<WLAN-NAME> {bss <1-16> |primary} Specify the WLAN name (it must have been already created and configured)
  • bss <1-16> – Optional. Specifies a BSS for the radio to map the WLAN
    • <1-18> – Specify the BSS number from 1 - 16.
      • primary – Optional. Uses the specified WLAN as the primary WLAN, when multiple WLANs exist on the BSS
  • primary – Optional. Uses the specified WLAN as the primary WLAN, when multiple WLANs exist on the BSS
