To make the WLAN visible to users searching for wireless networks, choose
Enable
from the
Broadcast SSID
pull-down menu. (This should be enabled in
almost all instances.)
Make the WLAN operational by choosing
Active
from the
SSID Status
pull-
down menu. If
Active
is not chosen, the access point won’t announce the
SSID or respond to requests by clients to associate with the WLAN.
Make the WLAN an open network by choosing
None
from the
Security Policy
pull-down menu.
Figure 19. Add Access Point WLAN SSID Profile dialog box (bottom half)
Choose
None
from the
DHCP Server Type
pull-down menu unless you plan to
use the access point as the DHCP server. Making the access point a DHCP
server is practical for only very small networks. Typically, you’ll want to have
access to a DHCP server through the wireless mesh network.
Click
OK
to save the WLAN SSID profile.
The new profile now appears in the list of WLAN SSID profiles. Figure 20
shows an example.
