Chapter 10, "Configuring Authentication
Name an SSID
Configure the SSID for RADIUS accounting
Assign the SSID to the native VLAN
Designate the SSID as the infrastructure SSID
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enter interface configuration mode for the radio interface.
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.
Note
You can include spaces in an SSID, but be careful not
to add spaces to an SSID accidentally, especially at the
end of an SSID.
(Optional) Set an authentication username and password that
the bridge uses to authenticate to the network.
(Optional) Enable RADIUS accounting for this SSID. For
list-name, specify the accounting method list. Click this link

(Optional) Assign the SSID to a VLAN on your network. On
your bridge, you should assign the SSID to the native VLAN.
Designate the SSID as your bridge's infrastructure SSID. The
root bridge allows associations only from bridges that use this
SSID. You must enter this command for the SSID on each
non-root bridge.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
