WEBVTT 1 00:00.000 --> 00:04.760 All right, it is time to make our access point broadcast an SSID. 2 00:04.760 --> 00:07.880 And at this point, we know an SSID is tied to our WLANs. 3 00:07.880 --> 00:11.800 And so we're going to go over to that tab and use this drop down actually the 4 00:11.800 --> 00:12.120 default 5 00:12.120 --> 00:15.840 here is just to create new, but interestingly, we just make sure it's on new 6 00:15.840 --> 00:16.520 and click go 7 00:16.520 --> 00:18.560 to create a new WLAN. 8 00:18.560 --> 00:23.580 So from here, I can name the profile along with giving it an SSID. 9 00:23.580 --> 00:26.080 This is very similar to how it works in iOS Xe. 10 00:26.080 --> 00:29.960 So I'm going to call this CBT test or CBT N test. 11 00:29.960 --> 00:33.080 And then we'll say CBT N test here as well. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 11 00:29.960 --> 00:33.080 And then we'll say CBT N test here as well. 12 00:33.080 --> 00:36.410 Now, keep in mind, the profile name is just a local value that I can look at in 13 00:36.410 --> 00:37.160 the controller 14 00:37.160 --> 00:38.480 and know what it is. 15 00:38.480 --> 00:41.600 The SSID is what actually gets broadcast. 16 00:41.600 --> 00:43.600 And usually we're just going to leave those the same. 17 00:43.600 --> 00:44.840 I can select the ID. 18 00:44.840 --> 00:49.670 Again, we can support up to 16 WLANs, but we can just let the system decide the 19 00:49.670 --> 00:50.160 ID there 20 00:50.160 --> 00:51.160 as well. 21 00:51.160 --> 00:56.920 So from here, we are taken to the area where we can configure our SSID. 22 00:56.920 --> 00:59.760 And so under the general, this is where we're going to do some important things 23 00:59.760 --> 01:00.000 . WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 23 00:59.760 --> 01:00.000 . 24 01:00.000 --> 01:01.360 For example, enabling it. 25 01:01.360 --> 01:04.240 Remember, we had to do that in iOS Xe as well. 26 01:04.240 --> 01:07.560 We'll see the security policies here, but we can't actually change that. 27 01:07.560 --> 01:10.280 We'll go to the security tab for that in a moment. 28 01:10.280 --> 01:14.560 Radio policy, we can make it so it applies to specific bands on its own. 29 01:14.560 --> 01:16.120 But here's the big one. 30 01:16.120 --> 01:17.640 What interface does it get mapped to? 31 01:17.640 --> 01:21.600 If I wanted to go to VLAN 10, I'd place it on the test interface. 32 01:21.600 --> 01:23.120 Enter face. 33 01:23.120 --> 01:27.000 If I wanted on the default native VLAN, I would place it on to management. 34 01:27.000 --> 01:28.920 And in my environment, that's what I want. 35 01:28.920 --> 01:33.120 Again, in lab environments, it's fine to use management and production. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 35 01:28.920 --> 01:33.120 Again, in lab environments, it's fine to use management and production. 36 01:33.120 --> 01:35.080 We really shouldn't do that. 37 01:35.080 --> 01:39.350 Now whether I want to broadcast the SSID as well, this is not considered a 38 01:39.350 --> 01:40.360 wireless security 39 01:40.360 --> 01:41.360 feature. 40 01:41.360 --> 01:44.460 However, it can help to clean up our wireless space when we're looking for 41 01:44.460 --> 01:45.400 wireless networks. 42 01:45.400 --> 01:49.090 If we don't want it to our this SSID to show up in people's list, we can 43 01:49.090 --> 01:50.120 disable this. 44 01:50.120 --> 01:55.800 Again, not a security feature, more just a way to keep our space cleaner. 45 01:55.800 --> 01:59.800 So that's a lot of what we want to do on this tab. 46 01:59.800 --> 02:02.200 Now from here, we can go to the security. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 46 01:59.800 --> 02:02.200 Now from here, we can go to the security. 47 02:02.200 --> 02:04.920 And like we did before, we're just going to say none here. 48 02:04.920 --> 02:07.850 And the reason for that is because we're going to have another session where we 49 02:07.850 --> 02:08.360 configure 50 02:08.360 --> 02:09.360 security. 51 02:09.360 --> 02:12.280 So let's just make it so that this works. 52 02:12.280 --> 02:13.280 And so that's it. 53 02:13.280 --> 02:14.280 I'm going to click apply here. 54 02:14.280 --> 02:17.480 We don't need to do any QOS or anything like that. 55 02:17.480 --> 02:21.440 And so at this point, the WLAN, the SSID is created. 56 02:21.440 --> 02:23.160 So we see the SSID here. 57 02:23.160 --> 02:25.920 Status is enabled and everything should look good. 58 02:25.920 --> 02:30.360 So I can come over here to WLANs, see the WLAN in the list. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 58 02:25.920 --> 02:30.360 So I can come over here to WLANs, see the WLAN in the list. 59 02:30.360 --> 02:34.240 Now I can go take a look at my wireless networks. 60 02:34.240 --> 02:38.600 If we're trying to join this, got to turn on my Wi-Fi here. 61 02:38.600 --> 02:43.430 And so I'm going to, let's see here, we are going to show the bottom corner of 62 02:43.430 --> 02:44.120 my screen 63 02:44.120 --> 02:45.120 here. 64 02:45.120 --> 02:48.080 And again, I'm going to look for that SSID. 65 02:48.080 --> 02:50.800 And I do not see the SSID in the list. 66 02:50.800 --> 02:52.520 Why don't I see it in the list? 67 02:52.520 --> 02:58.740 Well remember, we are not done yet because this WLAN is going to get applied to 68 02:58.740 --> 02:59.520 specific 69 02:59.520 --> 03:01.320 AP groups. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 69 02:59.520 --> 03:01.320 AP groups. 70 03:01.320 --> 03:04.720 And it only gets applied to the default by default. 71 03:04.720 --> 03:08.320 So let's go ahead and click over here on advanced, go to AP groups. 72 03:08.320 --> 03:11.620 And if I click on default group, for example, and go to WLANs, we'll see that 73 03:11.620 --> 03:12.200 it's right 74 03:12.200 --> 03:13.200 there. 75 03:13.200 --> 03:17.680 And access points in the default group are already broadcasting this SSID. 76 03:17.680 --> 03:21.190 This is one reason why we don't want to use the default group because access 77 03:21.190 --> 03:22.200 points automatically 78 03:22.200 --> 03:25.320 get added there, WLANs automatically get added there. 79 03:25.320 --> 03:27.520 It's a lack of control for us. 80 03:27.520 --> 03:32.990 So instead, I'm going to go back to AP groups, click on my CBTN group, go to W WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 80 03:27.520 --> 03:32.990 So instead, I'm going to go back to AP groups, click on my CBTN group, go to W 81 03:32.990 --> 03:34.000 LANs, notice 82 03:34.000 --> 03:35.840 nothing's here by default. 83 03:35.840 --> 03:37.600 Going to click add new. 84 03:37.600 --> 03:42.440 And we're going to add my test, my interface here, click add. 85 03:42.440 --> 03:44.520 And now we should see that it's broadcasting. 86 03:44.520 --> 03:50.960 So let's go ahead and flip back over to my screen corner, pull up my wireless 87 03:50.960 --> 03:51.920 and right 88 03:51.920 --> 03:54.120 there CBTN test. 89 03:54.120 --> 03:58.560 And I should be able to connect to it because I didn't add any security. 90 03:58.560 --> 04:01.680 And so this is how we get SSIDs to broadcast. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 90 03:58.560 --> 04:01.680 And so this is how we get SSIDs to broadcast. 91 04:01.680 --> 04:07.560 Again, we have to keep in mind that we're trying to bridge or make it so that 92 04:07.560 --> 04:08.200 are, well, 93 04:08.200 --> 04:10.120 they're just waiting for it to connect. 94 04:10.120 --> 04:11.560 So now it has connected. 95 04:11.560 --> 04:17.240 So what we're doing here is we're using our AP groups to connect to the access 96 04:17.240 --> 04:18.080 points, 97 04:18.080 --> 04:19.680 but our WLAN sort of sit in the middle. 98 04:19.680 --> 04:23.360 The WLANs connect to the interface like we drew out earlier. 99 04:23.360 --> 04:27.200 That is the interface defines the VLAN for us. 100 04:27.200 --> 04:31.960 The WLAN in the middle defines the SSID and the SSID configurations. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 100 04:27.200 --> 04:31.960 The WLAN in the middle defines the SSID and the SSID configurations. 101 04:31.960 --> 04:35.380 But then that has to be mapped to the AP groups in order to get mapped to the 102 04:35.380 --> 04:35.880 access 103 04:35.880 --> 04:36.880 point. 104 04:36.880 --> 04:40.760 So just keeping that architecture straight in our heads will go a long way. 105 04:40.760 --> 04:43.160 And a picture is worth a thousand words. 106 04:43.160 --> 04:47.560 And so let's just go back to our chalkboard here to make sure we recall how 107 04:47.560 --> 04:48.360 this works. 108 04:48.360 --> 04:53.410 We've got, like I said, the interface that is specified within the WLAN, which 109 04:53.410 --> 04:53.840 has the 110 04:53.840 --> 04:55.360 SSID in it. 111 04:55.360 --> 04:59.380 And then that must get mapped to the AP group so it can get pushed out to the 112 04:59.380 --> 05:00.520 access point. WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:900000 112 04:59.380 --> 05:00.520 access point. 113 05:00.520 --> 05:05.120 So this is the component that was missing, which is why it didn't show up. 114 05:05.120 --> 05:09.320 As soon as we added this in, it did show up and get broadcasting. 115 05:09.320 --> 05:12.880 So that is the end-to-end configuration for getting our SSIDs online.
