Commands to enable an SSID on only 1 IAP in a cluster?

  • 1.  Commands to enable an SSID on only 1 IAP in a cluster?

    Posted Jul 21, 2017 02:06 PM

    I am trying to find a way to broadcast a special SSID on only 1 of our IAPs in a cluster.  This is for ease of district-wide device provisioning.

     

    The SSID is globally defined, but disabled.  Now I need to enable it on select IAPs, or just this one IAP.

     

    I was looking through the IAP CLI command guide, but I don't see an option for a per-AP configuration piece to be applied for SSID.

     

    I am running 6.5.2.1.

     

    Any thoughts?

    Have you tried the zone feature? This will allow you to assign a SSID to a specific IAP.

    That was exactly what I needed.

    In short:
    In the SSID for which I only want in one area, I set the zone for that SSID, and I place that IAP in that zone.
    The IAP will broadcast the special Zone-only SSID, as well as the SSID's that aren't zone-specific (i.e. normal, global, SSIDs we're used to).

    Great quick reply!
