Configuring Multiple Basic SSIDs Service Set Identifiers • Access points must contain a radio that supports multiple BSSIDs. To determine whether a radio supports multiple basic SSIDs, enter the show controllers radio_interface command. The radio supports multiple basic SSIDs if the results include this line: Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on radio_interface: 8 Guidelines for Using Multiple BSSIDs Keep these guidelines in mind when configuring multiple BSSIDs: • RADIUS-assigned VLANs are not supported when you enable multiple BSSIDs. • When you enable BSSIDs, the access point automatically maps a BSSID to each SSID. You cannot manually map a BSSID to a specific SSID. • When multiple BSSIDs are enabled on the access point, the Service Set Identification List information element (SSIDL IE) does not contain a list of SSIDs; it contains only extended capabilities. • Any Wi-Fi certified client device can associate to an access point using multiple BSSIDs. • You can enable multiple BSSIDs on access points that participate in WDS. CLI Configuration Example This example shows the commands that you can use on the command-line interface (CLI) to enable multiple BSSIDs on a radio interface, create an SSID called visitor, designate the SSID as a BSSID, specify that the BSSID is included in beacons, set a DTIM period for the BSSID, and assign the SSID visitor to the radio interface. Use the dot11 mbssid command in global configuration mode to simultaneously enable multiple BSSIDs on all radio interfaces that support multiple BSSIDs. ap(config)# configure terminal ap(config)# dot11 mbssid ap(config)# dot11 ssid visitor ap(config-ssid)# mbssid guest-mode dtim-period 75 ap(config-ssid)# exit ap(config)# interface d0 ap(config-if)# ssid visitor You can also use the mbssid command in configuration interface mode to enable multiple BSSIDs on an access point radio interface. This example shows how to enable multiple BSSIDs on a radio interface: ap(config)# interface d0 ap(config-if)# mbssid ap(config-if)# exit Displaying Configured BSSIDs Use the show dot11 bssid command in privileged EXEC mode to display the relationship between SSIDs and BSSIDs or MAC addresses. This example shows the command output: AP1230# show dot11 bssid Interface BSSID Dot11Radio1 0011.2161.b7c0 Dot11Radio0 0005.9a3e.7c0f Guest SSID Yes atlantic Yes WPA2-TLS-g Cisco 3200 Series Wireless MIC Software Configuration Guide 4
