# 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.
