Configuring Multiple SSIDs Chapter 8
For example, this sample output from a show configuration privileged EXEC
command does not show spaces in SSIDs:
ssid buffalo
vlan 77
authentication open
ssid buffalo
vlan 17
authentication open
ssid buffalo
vlan 7
authentication open
However, this sample output from a show dot11 associations privileged EXEC
command shows the spaces in the SSIDs:
SSID [buffalo] :
SSID [buffalo ] :
SSID [buffalo ] :
Restrict SSIDs by Using a
RADIUS Server To prevent client devices from associating to the access point by using an
unauthorized SSID, you can create a list of authorized SSIDs that clients must use
on your RADIUS authentication server.
The SSID authorization process consists of these steps:
1. A client device associates to the access point by using any SSID configured
on the access point.
2. The client begins RADIUS authentication.
3. The RADIUS server returns a list of SSIDs that the client is allowed to
use. The access point checks the list for a match of the SSID used by the
client. There are three possible outcomes:
a. If the SSID that the client used to associate to the access point matches
an entry in the allowed list returned by the RADIUS server, the client is
allowed network access after completing all authentication
requirements.
IMPORTANT This command shows only the first 15 characters of the SSID. Use the show
dot11 associations client command to see SSIDs having
more than 15 characters.
