    i was wonder if it possible or not, 

     here is my scenario, i have hotel i need to broadcast Guest SSID everywhere but  also i need some floor  Employee , contractor, and voice, but i need everywhere Guest SSID. 

    (1) for example i have 14 Floor, i need Guest SSID to be broadcast floor 1 to 14 

    (2) i need 2ND  and 14th floor employee SSID

    (3) i need Basement Floor contractor  and Voice SSID 

     

    but Guest SSID needs to be broadcast every corner of the building at the same time only some AP broadcast certain SSID but Guest still does. 

     

    any idea please

    thanks hope to hear soon 

     

    Regard

    Hi Tej,

     

    yes, it is possible configuring AP groups with different VAPs and assign APs to those AP groups.

     

    Have a look to this thread it is explained in detail. http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/Wireless-Access/How-to-use-AP-GROUP/td-p/32828

     

    Regards

     You can also assign or exclude individual settings to single AP's as well using the AP Specific settings
     
    Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration ->  AP Specific
     
    Or via CLI...
     
    ap-name "XXXXXX"
    virtual-ap "EmployeeVAP"
    !
