Cisco 3200 Series Wireless MIC Software Configuration Guide
The channel width change updates the PHY timing settings, channelizations, and uplink association
parameters and then triggers radio chipset to reset. In this case, the priority setting may bring more
complexity and even conflicts to the dynamic channel bandwidth. For example, two SSIDs can have the
same priority but different channel width settings. In this case, there is no way to scan them at the same
time as they go through different channels and use different association and PHY parameters. Each SSID
profile can be configured with different priority level and switching the profile as per the priority level
will cause channel width update and radio reset which is inefficient and time consuming.
To avoid such conflict and inefficiency, the channel width can be treated as the first order priority, while
the priority configured in 2.4.2 is treated as the second order. Each time the uplink scanning starts from
channel width 5MHz to 10MHz and then 20MHz, only the SSIDs in the current active channel width
own the go signal. If there are more than two SSIDs, the priority level will be applied to determine their
scanning opportunities. Below is a sample of channel width configuration for each profile.

Configuring a WMIC for MCP (12.4(3)JK or Later Releases)
You can configure a WMIC with MCP in one of the following modes: workgroup-bridge, universal
workgroup-bridge, or non-root bridge. In any of these configurations, the WMIC can support up to 16
different SSID profiles in the dot11 interface.
Each SSID profile may own different encryptions and priorities. Any SSID configured into the dot11
interface will be automatically picked up as an active client profile.
To configure a WMIC for MCP, predefine global SSID profiles and then follow these steps, beginning
in privileged EXEC mode.
Command
Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface dot11 radio 0
Enters interface configuration mode for radio interface 0.
Step 3
station-role {workgroup-bridge
[universal
address
] | non-root}
Changes
station-role
to permit support for workgroup-bridge,
universal workgroup bridge, or non-root bridge modes.
The
address
is the MAC address of the router interface on the
wireless and mobile router and is needed to instruct the router
to associate with Cisco and non-cisco root devices.
