All of this reminds me of a question that came up on something I was working on the other day. Can I assign APs to multiple AP groups? i.e. I have one area that I was to broadcast 2 SSIDs. I have one AP group that includes all of the APs in the building and a second that has the APs that exist in this one area. Is this possible? When I was looking at the controller it looked like an AP could only exist in one AP group at a time. Is that right?
You cannot have APs in multiple groups.
If you have and AP that needs to broadcast WLAN A and B, create a group that has both and add that AP to it. If you have an AP that needs to broadcast only one, create a group with only that WLAN (Virtual AP) and add the AP to it. If you have an AP you need to broadcast all three, create an ap-group that has all three WLANS (Virtual APS) and add the AP to it.
Remember that even if a client is in an area with an AP that is only broadcasting one WLAN, he can still be able to see an attach to an access point that is broadcasting more than one, so it is not much of a security mechanism to only broadcast certain APs.
