Public and Private SSIDs
Each radio can support the following types of SSIDs:
•
Encrypted SSID - Clients using this SSID must use encryption. Use the encrypted SSID
for secured access to your enterprise network.
•
Clear SSID - Clients using this SSID do not use encryption. Use the clear SSID for public
access to nonsecure portions of your network.
All supported access point models can support up to 32 SSIDs per radio. Each SSID can be encrypted
or clear, and beaconing can be enabled or disabled on an individual SSID basis.
Each radio has 32 MAC addresses and can therefore support up to 32 SSIDs, with one MAC address
assigned to each SSID as its BSSID. An access point’s MAC address block is listed on a label on the
back of the access point. If the AP is already deployed and running on the network, you can display the
MAC address assignments by using the
show {ap | dap} status command.
Encryption
Encrypted SSIDs can use the following encryption methods:
• Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
• Non-WPA dynamic Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)
• Non-WPA static WEP
Dynamic WEP is enabled by default.
