    i'm wonder how can i add virtual AP with prefer SSID?

    for instance i have AP group Staff-AP and Default  AP group.

    now i wanted to add SSID on this Group 

    for instance default AP can have ssid A-SSID, B-SSID C-SSID but staff ap group should have A-SSID, B-SSID, C-SSID, AND E-SSID 

     

    i mean staff ap group should have to broadcast more SSID than Default AP-group

     

    hanks.

    AP groups should be created by logical location where the same SSIDs will be present and you should never use the default AP group.

    Go to Configuration> Wireless> AP Configuration.  Edit the AP group that you want to add to.  Expand wireless lan.  Click on the word "Virtual AP".  In the right pane, click on Add, and Add the extra Virtual AP that you want advertised by that ap-group, and then click on Apply.

    Using the procedure I mentioned above, edit the Staff-AP ap-group.  Expand wireless Lan and then click on Virtual AP.  Add or remove any virtual AP that you want from the staff ap-group.  Do the same thing to the default ap group.

    Do you get an error when you try to add or delete virtual APs?  Where does it not work?

    You won't be able to remove it using the Wizard.  Using the instructions above, edit the Staff-AP ap-group.  Go to Wireless LAN> Virtual AP and then delete the virtual AP that corresponds to the Aruba-AP ssid.
