Wireless Configuration

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a data-communications system and wireless local area

network that flexibly extends the functionality of a wired LAN. A WLAN links two or more computers

or devices using spread-spectrum or OFDM modulation based technology. WLANs do not require

lining up devices for line-of-sight transmission, and are thus, desirable for wireless networking.

Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another, like a cellular phone system.

WLANs can therefore be configured around the needs of specific user groups, even when they are

not in physical proximity.

WLANs can provide an abundance of services, including data communications (allowing mobile

devices to access applications), E-mail, file and print services or even specialty applications (such

as guest access control and asset tracking).

Each WLAN configuration contains encryption, authentication and QoS policies and conditions for

user connections. Connected access point radios transmit periodic beacons for each BSS. A

beacon advertises the SSID, security requirements, supported data rates of the wireless network to

enable clients to locate and connect to the WLAN.

WLANs are mapped to radios on each access point. A WLAN can be advertised from a single access

point radio or can span multiple access points and radios. WLAN configurations can be defined to

provide service to specific areas of a site. For example, a guest access WLAN may only be mapped

to a 2.4 GHz radio in a lobby or conference room providing limited coverage, while a data WLAN is

mapped to all 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz radios at the branch site to provide complete coverage.

The wireless configuration is comprised of the following policies:

• Wireless LANs

• WLAN QoS Policy

• Radio QoS Policy

• Association ACL

• SMART RF

• MeshConnex Policy

• Mesh QoS Policy

• Passpoint Policy
