However, if you want to assign an SSID to a specific W-IAP, you can configure zone settings for a W-IAP. The following constraints apply to the W-IAP zone configuration: l A W-IAP can belong to only one zone and only one zone can be configured on an SSID. l If an SSID belongs to a zone, all W-IAPs in this zone can broadcast this SSID. If no W-IAP belongs to the zone configured on the SSID, the SSID is not broadcast. l If an SSID does not belong to any zone, all W-IAPs can broadcast this SSID. You can add an W-IAP zone by using the UI or the CLI. Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide Customizing W-IAP Settings | 63
