Assign Networks to a Site

A default site has a default network (wireless SSID) assigned to it. A network service consists of a policy that defines network traffic, authentication type, and role. We recommend configuring the default settings for the default network service or creating a new network service.

If you create a new network (wireless SSID), you must add the network to a site to activate the new network services to the wireless devices at that site.

Multiple network services can be applied to a site.

To assign networks to a site:

  1. Select Configure > Sites from the menu.
    The Sites list displays.
  2. From the Sites list, select siteName > Configure Site, or select Add to add a new site.
  3. On the Networks tab, select a network and assign the network to a specific radio.

  4. Some AP models have wired client ports, which are Ethernet ports to which host computers can be connected. The AP Client Ports pane displays any APs that have wired client ports. Assign one network to each wired client port. A wired client port must have exactly one network assigned to it in order to operate.
    Note

    Note

    The number of ports that display depends on the AP model.

    AP3916ic also has a camera port that can be assigned to a network with filters. The camera port supports all policy rules and actions, except that it can be assigned only to an untagged VLAN. An open WLAN can be assigned to the camera port. By default, the camera port is assigned to a network with a Deny All policy. This means that you will not be able to stream traffic to or from the camera until this Deny All policy is replaced.

  5. Select Save.
