TIP OpenWiFi
An SSID may be associated to any defined interface. This association ties the dataplane of the VAP together with the underlying interface services.
Most common SSID configuration parameters have been exposed via the Provisioning UI. Consult the OpenWiFi data model for the full list of available configurations.
From an interface select Add SSID.
Assigning the name of the SSID is also the name of the Wi-Fi network itself. Operating band of the SSID is configurable by radio.
