# Wireless LANs
A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel. Each instance must have an SSID, and may optionally be correlated to a VLAN. Wireless LANs can be arranged into hierarchical groups, and each may be associated with a particular tenant.
A wireless LAN is a set of interfaces connected via a common wireless channel, identified by its SSID and authentication parameters. Wireless [interfaces](../dcim/interface.md) can be associated with wireless LANs to model multi-acess wireless segments.
An interface may be attached to multiple wireless LANs, provided they are all operating on the same channel. Only wireless interfaces may be attached to wireless LANs.
## Fields
Each wireless LAN may have authentication attributes associated with it, including:
### SSID
* Authentication type
* Cipher
* Pre-shared key
The service set identifier (SSID) for the wireless network.
### Group
The [wireless LAN group](./wirelesslangroup.md) to which this wireless LAN is assigned (if any).
### VLAN
Each wireless LAN can optionally be mapped to a [VLAN](../ipam/vlan.md), to model a bridge between wired and wireless segments.
### Authentication Type
The type of wireless authentication in use. Options include:
* Open
* WEP
* WPA Personal (PSK)
* WPA Enterprise
### Authentication Cipher
The security cipher used to apply wireless authentication. Options include:
* Auto (automatic)
* TKIP
* AES
### Pre-Shared Key
The security key configured on each client to grant access to the secured wireless LAN. This applies only to certain authentication types.
