Introduction
This document describes the process to configure a service set identifier (SSID) with a single VLAN on
Cisco IOS®.

Prerequisites
Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

This document is not restricted to specific software and hardware versions.

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the
devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure
that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information
The SSID is a unique identifier that wireless network devices use to establish and maintain wireless
connectivity. AP radios are disabled and no default SSID is assigned. This is done in order to prevent
unauthorized users to access a user wireless network through an access point that has a default SSID and no
security settings. You must create an SSID before you can enable the access point radio interfaces.

Multiple access points on a network or subnetwork can use the same SSIDs. SSIDs are case sensitive and
can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters. Do not include spaces in your SSIDs.
The first character cannot contain any of these characters:

• Exclamation point (!)


• Pound sign (#)
• Semicolon (;)

These characters are also invalid and cannot be used in an SSID:

• Plus sign (+)


• Right bracket (])
• Front slash (/)
• Quotation mark (")
• Tab
• Irregular spaces

You can configure up to sixteen SSIDs on your Cisco Aironet Access Point and assign different
configuration settings to each SSID. On dual-radio wireless devices, the SSIDs that you create are enabled
on both radio interfaces. The client devices can associate to the access point with the use of any of the
active SSIDs.

Method 1: Configure the SSID on an AP with a GUI

1. Create a VLAN for the SSID.


2. Create an SSID and assign the VLAN.

3. Broadcast the SSID.


Method 2: Configure the SSID on an AP with a CLI

1. Configure the SSID and map it to a VLAN.

End

2. Configure the Dot11 Radio 0 and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.


>Conf t

Encapsulation dot1Q 50 native

Exit

Interface GigabitEthernet 0
Bridge-group 1

Interface GigabitEthernet 0.50


Encapsulation dot1Q 50 native
Bridge-group 1
Note: The Native VLAN must always be mapped to the bridge-group 1. If both the radios are
active, then configure Radio 1 like Radio 0.

Verify
Use this section to confirm that your configuration works properly.

• Ping from the AP to the VLAN interface of the switch.


• On the AP, enter the show dot11 associations command. You must see the client associated to the SSID.

<#root>
ap#

show dot11 associations
