WLAN Overview
WLAN Overview
The Cisco UWN Solution can control up to 16 WLANs for lightweight access points. Each WLAN has
a separate WLAN ID (1 through 16), a separate WLAN SSID (WLAN name), and can be assigned unique
security policies.
Lightweight access points broadcast all active Cisco UWN Solution WLAN SSIDs and enforce the
policies that you define for each WLAN.
Note Cisco recommends that you assign one set of VLANs for WLANs and a different set of VLANs for
management interfaces to ensure that controllers properly route VLAN traffic.

Creating WLANs
This section provides instructions for creating up to 16 WLANs using either the controller GUI or CLI.
You can configure WLANs with different service set identifiers (SSIDs) or with the same SSID. An
SSID identifies the specific wireless network that you want the controller to access. Creating WLANs
with the same SSID enables you to assign different Layer 2 security policies within the same wireless
LAN. To distinguish among WLANs with the same SSID, you must create a unique profile name for
each WLAN.
