Configuring Multiple SSIDs
When an SSID has been created in global configuration mode, the
ssid
configuration interface command attaches the SSID to the interface but does not
enter ssid configuration mode. However, if the SSID has not been created in
global configuration mode, the
ssid
command puts CLI into SSID
configuration mode for the new SSID.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to create an SSID
globally. After you create an SSID, you can assign it to specific radio interfaces.
1. Enter global configuration mode.
configure terminal
2. Create an SSID and enter SSID configuration mode for the new SSID.
The SSID can consist of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. SSIDs are case
sensitive.
• The first character cannot contain the!, #, or; character.
• +, ], /, ", TAB, and trailing spaces are invalid characters for SSIDs.

3. (Optional) Set an authentication username and password that the access
point uses to authenticate to the network when in repeater mode.
4. (Optional) Set the username and password on the SSID that the repeater
access point uses to associate to a root access point, or with another
repeater.
authentication client
username username
password password
5. (Optional) Enable RADIUS accounting for this SSID.
For
list-name, specify the accounting method list. You can find detailed
information about method lists at:
accounting list-name
6. (Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network.
Client devices that associate by using the SSID are grouped into this
VLAN. You can assign only one SSID to a VLAN.
vlan vlan-id
IMPORTANT
SSIDs created in Cisco IOS Releases 12.3(7)JA and later become invalid if you
downgrade the software version to an earlier release.
