This screen appears when you click Edit on the AP Radio Service
Set screen. Use this page to configure the primary SSID on your
access point.
Settings
Device
The name of the device you are configuring.
Service Set ID (Primary SSID)
Identifies the SSID to be used by repeaters and workgroup bridges
to associate with the access point or a VLAN supported by the access
point. The SSID helps client devices distinguish between multiple
wireless networks and VLANs in the same vicinity and provides access
to VLANs by wireless client devices. Several access points on a
network or sub-network can share an SSID. You can configure up to
16 SSIDs on each radio of an access point. An SSID can be any alphanumeric,
case-sensitive entry from 2 to 32 characters long.
Current Number of Associations
The current number of associations of the radio's primary SSID.
Maximum Number of Associations
The maximum number of associations allowed for the radio's primary
SSID.
Classify Workgroup Bridges as Network Infrastructure
Select no to allow more than 20 Cisco Aironet Workgroup Bridges
to associate to the access point. The default setting, yes, limits
the number of workgroup bridges that can associate to the access
point to 20 or less.
Access points and bridges normally treat workgroup bridges not
as client devices but as infrastructure devices, like access points
or bridges. Treating a workgroup bridge as an infrastructure device
means that the access point reliably delivers multicast packets,
including Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) packets, to the workgroup
bridge.
The performance cost of reliable multicast delivery -- duplication
of each multicast packet sent to each workgroup bridge -- limits
the number of infrastructure devices, including workgroup bridges,
that can associate to the access point. To increase beyond 20 the
number of workgroup bridges that can associate to the access point,
the access point must reduce the delivery reliability of multicast
packets to workgroup bridges. With reduced reliability, the access
point cannot confirm whether multicast packets reach the intended
workgroup bridge, so workgroup bridges at the edge of the access
point's coverage area might lose IP connectivity. When you treat
workgroup bridges as client devices, you increase performance but
reduce reliability.
Default VLAN ID
Use the drop-down menu to configure the default VLAN.
Default Policy Group ID
Use the drop-down menu to configure the default policy group.
Accept Authentication Type
Select which authentication type the access point recognizes.
Require EAP
If you want to force all client devices to perform EAP authentication
before joining the network, select either the Open or Shared check
box.
Default Unicast Address Filter
Use the drop-down to determine whether you want to allow a default
unicast address filter for each authentication type.
